New Chicks on the Farm

After the turkey babies hatched, I collected chicken eggs and set them in the incubator. We prefer to have hens go broody and hatch them, but this summer's weather was not very co-operative.

Well night before last Ken left me a midnight note on the bathroom mirror - chicks hatching. So I waited 24 hours and more kept hatching. Once I thought we were done, I moved them into a big box with a light, water and food.

But one more has hatched! Here is what they look like just out of the egg. I will wait a couple more days to see if more hatch.
