We had one little late hatch the day after all of the others. Now known as 'Tiny Chick' because he lookes suprisingly small when he was next to all the others! So 12 live chicks in total. We broke the remaining eggs before we discarded them and only 2 contained fully developed chicks that had died before hatching. The next batch will be going in in a couple of weeks hopefully.
It's certainly fascinating to watch them grown and learn and behave like proper chickens at such a tiny age. We are all really enjoying it and learning lots as we go along to put into practice next time.
We are enjoying a breezy Bank Holiday weekend preparing for the birthday barbeque next weekend!
