Homegrown Baby Chicks

We hatched out 8 Welsummer/Rhode Island Red cross baby chicks one week ago. Unfortunately one didn't make it, but we set up 14 eggs.


First Hatchling

4 hatchlings

All 7 Survivors

10 were fertile, 2 stopped developing at some point, and 2 "baked" in the incubator. Of the 7 survivors, 5 are hale and hearty, and two are small, but they're hanging on. Wonder how many are roosters...?
Here are my 2010 RIR's that I bought.

Some pretty cute chicks, too...
