The hatching started last night, about about 9:30, says my parents. A cute little brown chick arrived. This morning there were 4 chicks in the incubator, with another pipped and working on it. Throughout the day we had many chicks hatch, as we are now at 13 chicks! I watched 3 chicks hatch out of their eggs! It was super cool. For the third one, I helped by shining the light on it, which made it break out of the shell (it was a bit stuck).
We've taken a few photos of the hatchings and will post in a bit.
Since we had so many hatched chicks in the incubator, we moved some of the nice dry, fluffy chicks out of the incubator, and into a cage. We did this to stop them from shuffling the other eggs, which haven't hatched yet. They are all snug under the heat light, eating and drinking.
I was up early this morning (6 am) to check on them, and so I need to go to bed now. Looking forward to see how many chicks hatch tonight, and the Easter Bunny coming!
Cheeping... peeping... still cooking... and oh so CUTE!
