The Moonshiner's Chick Chat

I had 14 total hatch from my eggs!

2 more pipped and starting to zip. One is the bumped egg, and it looks like it bled, but I'm not sure if it bled from being cracked or the chick. Still going strong so far.

Ducklings are mad they got booted out of their area to make room for the new ones. They should be okay though, I'm hoping. But they were trying to chew on the babies, which wasn't going to work at all

Why is his head shaved?!

Little dude hatched overnight (not one of the two that pipped, those got shrinkwrapped I think so I'll probably have to try and help them).

He's definitely got a leghorn comb though. I'm guessing I'll find a stripe of chick fluff in one of the eggs when I take final roll call

How many do you have now?

 

[JacinLarkwell]

7, two are proving to be worrying. I'll candle the rest if there no pips after the last 2 get donw

Scratch that, 9. Those last two got out and look okay
