Our 2nd round of eggs in our new incubator are beginning to emerge. Early this morning we had a beautiful blonde Phoenix chick hatch out.
At 3 p.m. when I looked into the incubator, I saw this:
That is a pip out of the Rhode Island Red egg.
And here we are an hour later and the little chick is chirping and trying to come out:
We have 7 more eggs in the incubator so we'll have a fun filled day watching babies hatch.

| Chick was less than 1 minute old when I took this picture. It will remain in the incubator several more hours to dry off and get warm before I move it to the brooder. |
 |
| The light one is the Phoenix chick (1st pic); the big red one is the Rhode Island Red chick once it got dry and warm; the one in the back looking straight on is a Phoenix chick and the dark one in the back is an Ameraucana. |

Your family is going to have a lot of new chickens for eggs. Are you planning to sell baby chicks and eggs?
ReplyDeleteFor now, just build up our flock again. We cull the older ones, etc. and sell pairs of adults in hard times and in the Spring is when we rebuild. I want some nice mating pairs, a bunch of layers, and broilers to sustain our family. Once we get our ideal set up back, I will probably sell chicks and pullets.
DeleteThere's nothing quite as exciting as hatching!! Thanks for sharing with the Clever Chicks!!
