We have had a busy last couple of days taking care of the new hatchlings. Saturday was the beginning of 12, yes 12 chicks hatching. We were able to Zoom it for many to see. It hatched about 1:00 Saturday afternoon. The rest of the day, we only saw many little dents in the eggs. Saturday night, I woke every couple of hours to check on the hatchlings. The first time I woke, there was one chick, the second time I woke there was another, and when I rolled out of bed at 6:30 there were two chicks! Between 6:30 and 7:30 two more hatched. During Sunday, 4 more hatched! As I write this on Monday, what I believe is our last chick finally hatched. We are up to 12 chicks! That is the most we've ever had. We started with 22 eggs, which is the most I've ever started with. Here are some videos and photos from the weekend.
