Chick Watch 2015

I had started to give up hope yesterday. I rationalized, maybe it wasn't the worst thing in the world if we have a dozen duds? We'd like to sell the house we currently live in & our neighborhood isn't exactly full of people hoping to find an existing/working chicken coop! 

But this morning, we found a surprise! 2 eggs had pipped! And when I checked back, there was a third! I'm not sureif  there are others yet, it's kind of hard to see inside the window & we only have a view from one side. But, here are the beginnings of our babies. ❤️🐓❤️ 

This guy (can't see his number so I don't have anything to call him yet -- this is the egg O saw moving the other day!) is LIVELY!! He was chirping & I started talking to him. That made him go WILD with chirps & start breaking through the shell more. So freaking cool! 


Here's #8 -- this is the egg I swear I saw move the other day but had convinced myself it was all in my head. lol 

And we also have this little fella (can't see his number either). 



And yes, I'm referring to them all as he. I'm a Mom of boys, it's habit! 😂 
Plus, almost all of the hatchlings in our group are turning out to be roosters (there are some hens though!). So, chances are I only birth boys in all ways. lol
