Title: New chicks with pics
Post by: gracie on April 03, 2011, 21:03
The new chicks from the incubator started on Thursday, up until 5pm on friday there were 12 out of 16 hatched, with one still chirping in the shell, as the eggs were being hatched at the school i work in, the teacher who supplied the eggs, is looking after the chicks until all the children have seen them, so i dont know if the last possible one has hatched yet. Here are some photos

What amazing photos.The children are so lucky to see that.
I hope the chirping one managed to get itself out.
Wow!

I know, my daughter has named it moe (mohikan) so we have to hope it's a girl. I have said not to name them until we know, but it's so difficult when the name is so obvious.

They are so cute.  I cant wait now for mine.  Bit worried mind as they were at day 21 yesterday and still no sign of action, the eggs are moving so hopefully they will.

I think its amazing to see that as a child  I never saw that sort of thing at school and neither did my boys.

Be nice to see some pics as they grow.

You can almost hear them saying, "Whew!  What hard work that was! Now where am I?"  They are just so sweet!
