Day 21 - Chick Update

3:00 a.m.

So this is really something - a bit of a situation! Who knew these chickens would actually hatch!

We all slept in the tent last night and I had to get up at 2:30 because the wind and a party down the way were making too much noise - so of course had to check on our baby chicks! Chick #1 had made the first crack in it's shell! I stayed and watch it so long that Chris actually thought I had ditched him and the girls for our nice soft bed!

We've watched it throughout the day and now we can see the beak and a few feathers and the little guy is making steady progress on the hole! I think by morning the girls will have a new pet!
