Happy Resurrection Day!
Twenty days ago we placed a dozen eggs in our incubator, and yesterday morning the first chick fought his/her way out. The name of the first chick thanks to Samuel is "ZooZoo Super Chick" As ZooZoo gained strength and voice our cat Sydney and dog Asher gained interest in the incubator. At one point Sydney was clawing at the incubator so we moved the operation to the guest bathroom (sorry Mom!) where we could offer more protection. We also decided to move little ZooZoo to a small brooder (also in the bathroom) since it seemed like it was time for food and water.

Little "ZooZoo Super Chick" happy on top of the food.
And today, Easter Sunday, two more chicks hatched.
Here is one chick only a few hours after breaking out...
still waiting for a name.... maybe "jelly or bean"
We are planning that whatever hens come from this batch will become
some of our egg layers.
The roosters....well if they become to bothersome...they may become
supper.
