I am thinking about the new chicks, they are adorable.
Henny Penny hatched 8 all in all - 3 white/yellow, 3 black (1 black with brown face, 1 black with white/grey chest/throat/wing tips, 1 black), 2 brown with black markings.
I named the tiny black chick with white bits 'Monty' after one of my neighbours. The egg containing Monty was nearly ready to hatch, the chick was tapping and cheeping away frantically, I left them all alone for a few hours. I went back and found the chick curled up in a half shell covered in blood and cheeping softly, eyes closed, it hadn't even fully absorbed the yolk and needed to be kept warm but Henny Penny wasn't keeping it warm and the other chicks were pecking it, so I took him and put him under a heat lamp.
He stayed curled up in a tiny ball making small noises and hardly moving for around 2 hours, I wondered if he would ever open his eyes... Eventually he did open his eyes and start moving around a bit, but his feet were curled up and he wasn't walking or standing properly, I slept with him that night to keep an eye on him and got probably only about 2 hours of sleep then got woken up at 6amish.
The next day his feet still weren't right and he wasn't really improving but I had gotten him to eat and drink. Things went brilliantly when I reintroduced him to Penny and the chicks, so I left him with her that night, suddenly the next day he started walking and running etc. properly - so now he stays with Penny and co. permanently.
Curled up in a tiny ball, eyes shut, covered in blood and slime and cheeping softly he is one of the most beautiful things I have ever held.
'Sooty' the all black chick hatched from a stone cold egg that I found in Penny's original nest site in the garden, it must have rolled away unnoticed. I found it when checking for eggs, suspected it probably contained a dead chick but decided to warm it up anyway. After tapping on the egg for what seemed like ages and not hearing anything moving inside I eventually heard tapping so I put the egg under Penny, then it hatched the next day.
