The kids [and the mom and dad] are beside themselves with excitement!
Wow... at least some of them lived! We didn't kill them all! It is sad that I am so surprised I guess... but gosh... we ordered a bunch of little eggs in the mail and look - now they are becoming little chicks!
Truly cool. Now let's hope some of these chicks live to adulthood!
It is very hard to get good pics of this process because I can't open the incubator right now, but here you can see kind of the little pips the baby chicks have made in their shells:
The two eggs that are hatching so far are an Ameraucana egg [green egg] and a Marans egg [dark brown egg]. We aren't sure of the exact color of either of these chicks, as both breeds come in tons of colors. It will be fun watching them feather out and trying to figure out what the heck they are!
And here are pics of the kids watching the process:
