Third chick is hatching!



Well, Silver is all hatched and beautiful! She is smaller than Copper, actually the smallest egg of the batch! She just seems like a she! We all got to watch her hatch! This is a picture above of Copper and his four hatching siblings! A family portrait!




Isn’t Copper just a beautiful little chick? Three hours of dry time and he is all soft and fluffy looking! He’s very feisty and has been pecking at his siblings little cracks!



Welcome to the world little Bucka Baby!!! Now we’re getting ready for Topaz to hatch, she has broken the membrane with her little egg tooth and is breathing, making her shell move slightly. It seems that once they get the gumption to finally break that membrane, it’s about 15 to 30 minutes for them to crack the shell in half and get free!


Copper was so happy to see a chick sibling that he was smooshing her after she hatched! So we gave her a minute or two to rest and snapped a up close portrait of the little fella. He’s pretty funny and is very active. Strong little chicks!

Can’t wait to see what the other three look like!!!
