Our first chicks!

We have had our first homegrown chicks hatch today. So far we have three happy and healthy chicks. Hall and Oates have been co-sitting on the eggs. They seem to be quite happy to share the responsibility of being a Mum.

I have just helped a fourth chick out of it's shell which it had cracked open a few hours ago.

The brooder coop is all set up and ready to be home for a while. This is so exciting!
