well a little splash Orp chick hatched out last night. :D so cute grey and white and fluffy

 

So I was very excited at work today and couldnt wait to come home to see it , Im amazed anything hatched as I had written of the eggs after having a four hour powercut the other weekend and a six hour one last week.

 

Anyway I was picking the shell out of the incubator after transferring the little one and picked up another egg and it cheeped and moved - I nearly dropped it out of fright :shock: so Im hoping there is another one going to come out ok :pray:

 

These will be my chicks of fate if they hatch out.

My god you'll never believe it , I was up at 3am this morning looking at the egg waiting and nothing doing.

Cheepy egg hatched about 7.30 this morning :D

 

I've been desperate to get home from work all day, came home looked in the Inky and there were THREE fluffy bodies starting back at me :dance:

 

So four out of six hatched , ive left the other two eggs in , just incase, Im obviously rubbish at candling and the powercuts just delayed things

The thing is im expecting a few more eggs in the next few days as I didnt expect anything out of this hatch, Im going to be overun :roll: Oh well, I can think of worse things

 

Heres a not great pic of the bunch

Cheepy egg no.5 hatched last night :clap: I had to help it out a bit though it took all night and was very noisy about it, so we're both a bit knackered.

 

Im going to leave the last one for a bit longer now, ive got some jubilee orp and salmon Faverolle eggs to go in tomorrow, so I'm hoping they will be as successful.

 

I take some piccies later
