Our little chickens finally hatched from their eggs. We are so excited. I watched and watched for the weeks. They were due to hatch on the 21st which was a Wednesday. I left to can some peaches with my mom Monday and Tuesday. Tuesday about 3 hours before I was due to come home they all hatched. I kinda saw one come out of the egg via ichat but was a little miffed that I missed it all! The kids were able to come home and watch though and that was enough to make me ok with missing their coming into the world. They are ALL black. Some have white or yellow and one with some rust color on his head but they are black- Out of the 7 eggs we bought we got 5. That is pretty good seeing how we were planning on 3-4 at the most. Goes to show you cant count your chickens until they hatch! hehe

They are so cute. Sean loves his little ladies and in all fairness I do too. Its been a fun experience with them and watching how they get out. We could hear them peeping a few days before they actually pecked a hole into the egg. Ben was able to take the egg shells for his cool educational experience this week. I thought it was cool anyway.
