Muddy Boots

Chicks!

We have chicks!

Six have hatched - 4 Buff Orpingtons (from a relative) and 2 mutts (from our brood).  There are two that have been in the process of hatching all day and I think we might lose them.  One more is pipping.

I really didn't think we were going to be able to do this.  I had a horrid time keeping the temperature right when we first turned off the a/c.  Fortunately, it got hot and humid so I had to turn it back on which kept the temp in the house more constant.

Can't do pictures yet.  Camera still MIA.
