You can see that they have to go all the way around the egg, so they can break it open. This is called Zipping.
Hatching is hard work and requires many naps.
The sponges kept in the incubator to keep up the humidity level, make great pillows.
This is what the Blue Splash chick looks like when its all dried and fluffed.
Here you can see the Buff Silkie Chick.
These are the two blacks.
Here are all four of our new chicks together. Don't they make a cute family?

Oh, they are so cute!
They're so cute!! Are they wearing slippers??
Oh my,they are really fluffy and cute.
They are wearing "Band-aid Shoes". When they were born not all of them had straight toes (which happens sometimes). We put the shoes on them to help them walk. As they get bigger is shouldn't be necessary anymore.
They look so cute! What are your plans for them?
Oh, they're darling! I LOVE the picture of the one sleeping on the sponge pillow!
These guys (girls??) are TOTALLY cute and I love the "slippies" they have on.
Have you named them? How did you come by them? Where do you keep them? Questions, questions, questions...
How cute are they!! What are you going to do with them?
