7 out so far - 18 still in there, lots of pipping and rolling going on.

They are TEENY WEENY TINY and hilarious looking. So sweet! Will post photos tomorrow when they are out of the incy and in the brooder...

hello sis! will do
they are about the size and weight of a ping pong ball (I was going to say a quail's egg but that is fairly obvious )
except most of that size is fluff. and they have sort of tiger stripes down their back. ahhhh

My god I am so out of touch I was still waiting for the hen pictures (just saw, laverly!)

! Marvellous stuff! Can't wait to see them. So it sounds like you will get a high percentage of hatchers? Yippee!

My new coop has finally arrived so it'll be bald-backed hen and china eggs in tomorrow. If she's not sitting by the end of the week I'll order an R-Com!

Oh that is fab! They must be so wee.

Lulu's are due tomorrow, I am off out for chick crumbs if my mother ever arrives.
