Hatching

This is the first sign that something is going to happen:

A little pip! YAY!
Later they start to crack around the first pip:
Then a bit more,
and some more!
Until they pop out!

Yay!

 It's exhausting work to hatch! :)
Here's what they look like after fluffing up and running around a bit:

And as I speak write, here comes chick number two:

Looks like a Buff Orpington! Five of the other six eggs have pips already! Now we are just waiting for the new babies! :)
