HATCHING DAY IS HERE!!!

Well...it's finally HATCHING DAY!!!! My Rhode Island Red chick decided to make a small hole in it's shell overnight!! Finally I will have some baby chicks......only two days late! I can't believe in 21 days you can go from just the smallest dot of a baby...to a full grown chick ready to hatch!

Once again the light bulb went out Christmas morning, but we were home, so we got the problem fixed as soon as we noticed! Although the temperature did drop quickly to 70..YIKES! But it didn't seem to bother the chicks because they are getting so big I doubt they would be able to fit in their shells much longer!

I only have a few pictures for now but will be posting more as more happens!



These two pictures were from last night before it started pokig a hole through the shell. It got into the air space and started chirping! It was so cool to hear it even though it was still in the shell!


Dad took this photo through the plexi-glass so the humidity caused it to be completely blurry! But this was right after it poked it's first hole...which you can't see! haha!


Taken about two hours ago...definitely a much bigger portion of the egg being poked off! Getting excited!!

Well that's all for now, more pictures to come as more happens! Hope y'all have a great day and had a wonderful Christmas@!
