Knowing how you lot love to see pictures of new chicks, I have decided to instead describe them

Got a batch of 21 due to hatch today and right on cue No1 a little RIR has popped on out. 2 more eggs have pipped both welsummers, so expect a busy few hours.

PS, I promise to take some photos when hatching has progressed.

Looking forward to seeing them. Best of luck to you and the little ones.

Patience, there are another 20 eggs to hatch and I have no plans to open the incubator until 4pm at the earliest.

Still only 1 chick and the other 2 pips have progressed slowly.

Right, all you with no patience sorry I kepy you waiting for the photos.

4pm came and only 1 had hatched and had had to go out to a dinner function last night, so I made the decision to leave the incubator and go to dinner. On getting back midnight about 5 were hatched so I left the incubator closed and went to bed. This morning there are 9 little peeps and pipping in another 6 eggs, the 9 peeps were well fluffed so I trasnferred to the brooder and here are the pictures.

So far we have 7 welsummers and 2 RIR.
