New baby chicken!!!!!

Very exciting news - our first little bubba in the incubator has hatched!!!

It is a bantam lavender Araucana chick. Fingers crossed it is a girl and she will lay blue coloured eggs!!! BEAUTIFUL!!
When Greg got up this morning this is what the eggs looked like:

And at 12 noon this is what I watched emerge from its shell:

I haven't actually seen a chick hatch from an egg before (I missed the others). It was amazing!!! I was in awe that this beautiful chirping little thing could come from some eggs we put in a man made environment - amazing stuff!!

I hope the broodys go well, the grey silky has some due today and feisty frizz tomorrow. Will go and check for chirping!!!

Very excited!!!!
