I’m a dad! Three chicks hatched so far, two yellow ones and a black one (or two Light Sussex and a Cuckoo Maran to give them their official titles). Hopefully by the morning there will be even more.
We’re leaving them in the incubator for a while to dry out and fluff up, and then they go into the brooder where we’ll be able to get some better photos of them without having to shoot through a tiny foggy window.
It’s all very exciting indeed!

if you’ll leave them in long enough you can eat them directly, I hear they’re quite tasty ;)
Woohoo!
Congrats, “dad” but she doesn’t look a thing like you! Isn’t it amazing how accurate the hatching is – 21 days on the nose. Compare that to figuring and waiting and re-figuring the due date / arrivals of your REAL babies.
Jeff – Felt like ages to me, but then it was me that was turning them three times a day.
Jeff S – Me or the chick?
Holmes – Thank you, I shall be passing round cigars later.
Avitable – Actually, I think there is technically more chicken meat in a day old chick than a Mc Donalds McNugget.
People in the Sun – Yup, apart from the black one anyway.
Cami – Thanks:)
Penelope – Yes, it makes you feel like there is something in the air doesn’t it.
Arjan – I’ve popped them under the grill on your advice.
Oli – Indeed Woo, as you say, hoo
Lise – Actually i put them in on a monday evening, so they are a day early. I’m hoping some of the other eggs are going to come at the appropriate time.
Congrats proud pappa.
