Hope this works,

Just a few moments ago a new chick comes into the world

I'm so proud

I take it that if 1 hatches the conditions (humidity and temp) are ok, and others should (finger crossed) hatch ?

Will the churping this one is making encourage the others to come out?

Hi & Congratulations

Yup the chirping of your first should encourage the others

Well Done

Just noticed the time on your photos, did you really sit up all night being a midwife

Looking forward to the fluffy stage photos

Sorry babe,

haven’t thought of any names yet, have been busy making sure the chicks are ok and building somewhere for them to live, do you have any suggestions ?......for names

Paddywack · « **Reply #12 on:** July 21, 2008, 10:31 »

Poolfield2,

Have been getting up every couple of hours just to make sure everything was ok,

Fluffy photos on their way.

Hi everyone,

First hatch update,

Here are the first four under a lamp,

I know chickens are intelligent but reading the paper so soon

I have another one drying off and 3 more pipping and this is on day 23,

I may have a problem with one of the pippings, it’s breaking the shell,
as it does it’s starting to bleed, any advice of what to do would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks all for your messages
