10 chicks hatched, at least 1 more to go

10 total are out of their eggs. At least 1 more egg has a hole in it where the little critter is trying to get out.

7 were out when I took the pics. Numbers 8, 9, and 10 got out while I was downloading so there are only the first 7 in these pics.

Here they are in the incubator.

  1. Nice job! They are adorable! And pecker's not such a bad name once you get used to it . . . :)

  2. Congrats! Cigars all around :)

    Third picture down in the incubator pics. Looks like the little guy has a flashlight inside the shell with him/her.

    First thing I thought: "Holy Crap... Bitmap's raising tactical chickens" :)

  3. Paladin, I thought the same thing. I think the light is the rangefinder on the camera. My wife took the incubator pics before I got home so I'm not sure.
