This was our surprise Friday evening (8/22)! One of our chickens "Momma" has been nesting on her eggs since the last week in July and finally this is what we got. There were 2 chicks at first, but the other one didn't make it.
Momma is still sitting on 3 eggs so...........we will have to keep you posted on that progress.
We have not named this chick yet because we don't know if it is a boy or a girl. We will have to wait until it is about 4 - 6 weeks old. If it crows......it's a boy! These critters are amazing. The chick wasn't even 24 hours old and it was already eating and drinking on its own. We try to spend a lot of time with it so when it gets bigger it will not be afraid of us. We are also going to have a little family/friends contest for the name of the chick so please feel free to post comments about a name. The winner will be announced at a later date.
