Raina Posted April 2, 2010 Author Share Posted April 2, 2010 We've got a little chick Here's a video of it hatching http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PRz3rdfRtHY Lovely I am amazed that you are so quite throughout the video though, I would have been leaping around making all sorts of noise I was the calmest out the lot of us lol My 11 yr old nephew was telling everyone on the x-box, my mum was prancing about and my sister had a big grin on her face lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Raina Posted April 2, 2010 Author Share Posted April 2, 2010 Thanks When my nephew saw the video (Was watching it with his mouth open) He said: Awww, Wow it's amazing how something so big can come out of that small egg Then he carried on playing on his X-box Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

batcatz Posted April 2, 2010 Share Posted April 2, 2010 well done! I love that little video. More more. p.s. I so should not be reading the Hatching threads. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raina Posted April 2, 2010 Author Share Posted April 2, 2010 The egg that pipped after the first chick hatched is starting to hatch (It's made a big hole in the egg) The first wobbler is still wobbling (Pipped) and the third is just wobbling Fingers crossed i wake up to some healthy chicks in the morning. I'll be sleeping downstairs tonight though as they make a right racket lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Raina Posted April 3, 2010 Author Share Posted April 3, 2010 Chick number 5 just hatched (The first Wobbler) My nephew got to see it properly this time,It's the quietest he's ever been Right i'm going to go downstairs for a while so i can't hear them pecking each other Oh and there's 2 black 1 black with yellow/white wing tips 1 Black with an Orange underside 1 Grey/Silver Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Madchook Posted April 3, 2010 Share Posted April 3, 2010 Congrats Raina,that is a great success for an ebay hatch and don't worry about the pecking, they will soon turn that on chick crumb once they realise what that instinct is for (and are in the brooder etc) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raina Posted April 3, 2010 Author Share Posted April 3, 2010 Thanks Here's some Pictures The picture of the chicks under the brooder is my computers background lol http://www.facebook.com/album.php?aid=2059015&id=1152268122&l=45ad5210a6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Raina Posted April 3, 2010 Author Share Posted April 3, 2010 Hehe Thanks I'm quite surprised how nosy they are! All of them have eaten and had some water even the 2 that hatched today. The little Silver/Grey coloured chick has blue eyes too Have taken some more pictures of them that i need to upload. They are the same size as MJ when she was taken,I didn't think she was that small lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Madchook Posted April 3, 2010 Share Posted April 3, 2010 Great photos Raina! I'm guessing the silkie part of them is various colours? Be interesting to see what they turn out like! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raina Posted April 4, 2010 Author Share Posted April 4, 2010 Thanks I don't have a clue about the colours i messaged the person my mum bought the eggs from and gave them the links to the video and pictures and they messaged back saying that their chickens will add me on facebook Well i was looking through the albums and i only saw a couple of silkies,all of them white, i think i might have seen a black silkie though I got up this morning to find the chicks scratching about on the floor so i've given them some more food and 2 of them got in the food dish and started to scratch about kicking the food everywhere Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Raina Posted April 5, 2010 Author Share Posted April 5, 2010 Everyone loves the silver one i like the little one that's black with an orange/yellow Eyebrow,Underside & Bum I've picked names for them but don't want to post yet in case i jinx anything Can't believe they've got wing feathers already too Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raina Posted April 6, 2010 Author Share Posted April 6, 2010 Bit of an Update: Well the chicks are evil little things They run round their brooder and are always doing the moonwalk looking for food (Even though they have a bowl full) They have started to fly about and are even sleeping on top of the electric hen They have all started to get wing feathers now too and aren't pecking each other as much now. Will try and get some pictures (and maybe a video) of them later when i clean them out Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
