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. |
