Baby Chicks







So we decided to hatch some eggs from our hen Eva (she lays the small blue one pictured) so that we could hopefully get more hens like her. I don't have a picture of Eva strangely enough, but Tango our rooster is pictured here. He's the black rooster, sans tail.
We put 12 eggs into the incubator and hatched 9 successfully- one died after pipping, and two were not fertilized.
All the babies are now feathered, living outside, and growing very very fast. 

Not much else to say about them, so here are the pictures. I've included a couple stages of development and one of the coop they live in.

Enjoy!
