Anyone for a live chick hatching thread?

[UtterlyUnimaginativeUsername]

We've had a Silkie hen sitting on 6 eggs for the last 3 weeks. Two have hatched so far today. Two more eggs are making cheeping sounds, there's tapping coming from the 5th and the 6th is quiet at the moment; maybe having a nap?

He's not getting much chance at napping under Princess, for some reason; she keeps moving. It's almost like she's rejecting him. So he's asleep in my bra at the moment.

Maybe shove that last egg in the other cup op?!

Turns out a bra isn't hot enough for a chick! Cloud ended up on a hot water bottle yesterday evening and all night, and is in better form this morning. We put it in with the others for a few minutes and it was able to run around with the others a bit. It's back on the hot water bottle now. It hasn't learned to eat yet, so hopefully it'll get the hang of that today.

Princess stopped sitting on the other egg and it went cold, so it's been discarded.

Aww lovely ❤️
