More Chicks.

It's been very exciting today.
Last night when I went to bed we had 2 chicks with a couple more trying to get out of the shell, this morning we had 6! It was hard leaving the excitement to go to work.
Now we have 12 chicks which is 200% increase on our current flock of Americauna chickens.
There are still a few more eggs that look as if they may hatch - it takes hours for them to come out of the shell! I saw one this morning just before leaving for work actually come out of the shell,I was thrilled!
Once they have dried & become fluffy we put them in a box with a heat light over them to keep them warm. That's why the picture you see has a red glow.
I hope you can feel my excitement as you read this! It may just be chickens to some but to me & Phil it is new life and whether you are a chicken, lion or human it remains special!
