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

[Raina]

Another Update!

1 Pipped

[Egluntyne]

The youtube clip is magic.

[Raina]

The first wobbler has pipped

 

The 2 chicks are now sleeping cuddled up together,It is so cute

 

Everytime they hear one of the eggs cheep they both walk about frantic looking where it's coming from

[chick wiggle]

Fantastic video, well done, It always amazes me when they hatch, i could watch them for hours. I love it when they stumble about talking to the other 'eggs' too

come on ickle chickies

[Raina]

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

[chick wiggle]

Typical boy

 

Any more yet?

[batcatz]

well done! I love that little video. More more.

 

p.s. I so should not be reading the Hatching threads.

[Raina]

 

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

[Chick-a-doodle-doo]

We have 2 lemon cookoo chicks out, one on the way and another possible! They look so lovely

[Raina]

Congrats Chick-a-doodle-doo

 

Right Chick number 3 hatched lastnight

Chick number 4 hatched less than 20 minutes ago

Chick number 5 is making it's way out

[Raina]

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

[Madchook]

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)

[Raina]

Thanks

 

Here's some Pictures

 

The picture of the chicks under the brooder is my computers background lol

[chick wiggle]

Awwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww

Well done Raina That is an exellent hatch from ebay, must be a good chick mummy

Gorgeous itty bitty ickle chickies Fantastic pictures

[Raina]

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

[Madchook]

Great photos Raina! I'm guessing the silkie part of them is various colours? Be interesting to see what they turn out like!

[Raina]

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

[Raina]

Here's a HD Video i took of the chicks lastnight

[half dozen]

I love the video of them! congratulations they are sooo cute I love the little silver one.I cant wait for mine now next week

[batcatz]

ahhhhhhh fab video. I also love the grey one. It might be a blue silkie?

[Raina]

 

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

[Raina]

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

[Raina]

3 & 4 day old pictures
