Lol, well, we have six now as of last night. Talk about a staggered hatch! The first one is still separated because it keeps picking on the others, so I’m pretty sure it’s a rooster. The rest have hatched at least a day apart each, with the sixth four days later. That one is still in the...

🤣 Thank you Debbie! I felt like the cheese was sliding off my cracker today! #4 is out and cheeping LOUDLY. #5 is pipped. My husband called from out of town to check on me. I told him the whole story (including the staggered hatch) and he started laughing hysterically. We started trading soap...

😭 This is the worst hatch I’ve ever had! My first chick was attacked and hatched two days early. Two other chicks hatched yesterday and when I put them in the brooder with the first (Rocky) started attacking them. She just wouldn’t stop, even with toys, drawings on the brooder, and me playing...
