Baby chicks

After exactly 21 days the chicks have hatched.
There are five little cuties huddled under the brooder.

This little one is a Dorking chick

The first two to hatch. A Dorking and the blacker one is a Barred Plymouth Rock.


Here is the third chick, resting after struggling out of its egg.

And number four! A Light Sussex

Here it is fluffed up. It is important to leave them in the incubator until they have dried off and got fluffy.

They are resting under the brooder where its nice and warm.

The first four. Look at the pretty markings on the Dorking chick.




Number five is taking its time to get out of the egg. It's another Dorking chick. You can see DK on the shell.

Now to choose names.
Here are some of our ideas.
