On The Homestead
Here is a picture of one the chicks we hatched "pipping out"

Here is the chick after he has worked the "lid" off of the egg

Here is the chick drying off and looking too cute. This was my test batch and 4 out of 6 hatched. We will be hatching more soon.

All for His glory,

How precious!!! I heard recently there is an air pocket at that end of the egg & that was the end it was pecking on. Have fun with the chicks!! jill
By Rhen- yes there is an air pocket so the chicks have air when they are starting to hatch until they have a hole there. It also gives them the little room they need to peck.

By Rhen- Yep the kids got to watch. They have been right there to see each and every hatch we've had.
