2 1/2 weeks old!

 The babies are getting older. I didn't take pictures of their ugly phase. But here they are!

Better pictures today. They are soooooo cute!

ALL 7 HATCHED!!! And they all look very healthy. Here is the video of one coming out of the shell. We got to watch 4 hatch kind of all at the same time. We got home from church and the first was out. The egg was stuck on its head. I had to help it get it off. It had dried onto the head. It did not hurt it in any was. I think it was relieved to have it off. Right after we got home and very quickly changed 4 more hatched basically at the same time. They zip those shells open pretty fast. They would get a small line going before we realized that's what they were doing. It was really fun to watch. The boys lost interest quickly. Katie had her eyes glued to them. We had friends stop by after church as well so they could watch too. I am glad they came straight over or they would have missed it. The 6th one took its pretty little time hatching out. It was a couple hours later that it came out and it took it like 30-40 minutes to zip. The last on hatched early this morning. I even checked on it sometime during the night when I woke up and it wasn't hatched then. But when we got up this morning it was out. It was still pretty wet. They are all now in the brooder. I still don't have good pictures of them. They are really fast and I cant hold the camera and them at the same time. I will post those later today. But here are some pictures I took of the hatching.

If you look at the top left of the x there is a big crack.

Not the best of pictures. but here are some that had hatched out.

I found the video I was able to do of the 6th one hatching.
