When I left for work this morning 2 have hatched and another eggs is cheeping, won't be home till late so can't wait to see what has happened.

[Flummery]

Cor wow! Hope you've got a camera!

[MaureenHall]

I think you should have a sicky today, c'mon, you've got babies hatching for goodness sake

[chicken slave]

No sickies here I'm afraid, so we will have to wait and see what has happened. I probably won't get home till midnight so something should have happened by then.

[chicken slave]

Well when I got home last night there were another 2 waiting for me in the incubator, I welcomed them and popped them in the brooder.

This morning I have awoken to another in the incubator, who is starting to full up nicely.

so far 5/6

2X Black Rock x Light Sussex
3X Light Sussex

They are all doing really well eating and drinking and looking ever so lively.

I am going to do piccies tomorrow as I need batteries for the camera (darn phone won't sync with the computer today)
