So we had Lawnchy hatch on Thursday around 6:30 pm...That night between 2 and 4 am, Archie hatched...He is solid black and much bigger than little Lawnchy...
This is Kresee's OMG there's another chicken in there look:)
But it appeared that our other 4 eggs were not going to make it....So Kerry ran to Atwood's Friday night before the football game to get something for the chicks...And they had a brand new shipment of 1 week old Bannie Chickens, so he brought home 3 so that our 2 would have some friends...They like to be in packs of 4-6 because they are very social...
After the game (Kohen went to the fair instead), Kresee was already in bed so we let Kohen hold the 3 chicks that were already 1 week old...

Our five babies...Lawnchy, Archie, Sharkie, Markie, and Arkie...It's funny because our Archie is the biggest of the 5 and then our Lawnchy is the smallest of the 5....
We have not held our two that have hatched yet since they are still so new...So the other 3 have got all the loving so far....Kresee is OBSESSSED!!!...She says "titens" and just loves looking at them and when its time to leave them alone, talk about kicking and screaming...I dread letting her actually touch them (haha)
But Friday night after the fooball game Kerry realized that one of the 4 eggs in the incubator had a little crack....So at 11:15 he woke me up to this:)...
Another little guy trying to make his way out of his shell...He worked hard for a long time...I actually stayed up until 12:30 watching him...But I knew I needed to get to bed since we would be up at 7 am for Kohen's soccer game in the morning...

We left to go to Kohen's soccer game and by the time we got home he was out...He could stand up and chirp at us...We think he will be brown....But we did notice something not quite right with him...He had this small ball hanging off his bottom...The other 2 did not have this...We couldn't tell since he was so new if maybe it was part of the egg attached to him...But we can't take him out of the incubator for 24 hrs and we knew we would just have to wait...I prepared Kohen letting him know that Marfie might have to go to heaven....
I worried about him all day long...We went to the OU football game...But at 10:00 last nigh, he was wide eyed and standing up...The little ball was still attached...This morning he can't stand up...He sure is trying though...It's like his little legs are paralyzed now...But since its been 24 hrs, we might take him out to have a closer look....And if he isn't going to make it, I sure hope little Marfie goes to sleep very soon...
