#3 and #4 are here

So I went out last night to make sure everything was OK in the coop, and I saw an empty egg shell, so I did a little digging and found the jet black one. This morning the little black and yellow one was born. It is very cool it is dark black and bright yellow mix. When we put the chicks back in the coop after bringing them in to feed and play with them the moms, especially Jerry get all wound up and run to get the chicks. Well, when one gets up the others start taking the eggs of the first one that gets up, and it is total chaos from there.

Chick #2

We got our second little chicken this morning. He's a bit of a runt compared to the one from Saturday.

Woo Hoo - New Chicks!

So we thought we would get chicks in the next few days, I was sure it wouldn't be until Monday or Tuesday, Casandra thought it would be today. So this morning I went and let Pepper out of the coop, then I opened up the big door to see how all the girls were doing. When all of a sudden underneath Suger I saw a little head poke out. Our new little chick hatched last night I think. Anyways, here are some pics. It is way smart, already eating and dinking on it's own, we didn't have to do anything.

Jerry doesn't like me around her eggs

The picture is of Jerry sitting on the eggs, but she usually only sits on them for 15 minutes a day, Sugar does it the rest of the time.
