Hatching now!

[Aileen35]

Born at 8.30 this morning, two more have just chipped their shells...should be an exciting day

[Nicos]

Aww...it must be so exciting watching them hatch!
Mine hatch under their mom's wings- so I don't get to see the 'unwrapping' moment.

More piccies please!!!

( what breed are they???)

[Laura Hillier]

Awww so cute! Must be such an exciting morning for you
Would you mind if we Tweeted about your chicks? A sure fire way to make people smile on a Friday! We have all gone very gooey in the GYO office!

Tweet (ha ha) away! Well the first born is a blue salmon bantam (drying out nicely... and chirping its head off!) The next to show its face in the world, is currently rockin its way round the incubator and is a birchen..... they take forever to finally appear, so this could take a while. I had 6 eggs in total, but two of them don't look very promising.... will keep you posted, have a great day

Awwww babies, this early in the year! Sweet!

[Laura Hillier]

But is it 'tweeting' or 'cheeping'? (sorry...terrible pun...)
Aileen, are you on Twitter?
We cant wait to see the rest of the beautiful babies!
