Sunshine is a MOM!!! The first egg was pipping at 6 pm and hatched out by 9:30 pm. We moved Sunshine, her chick and egg into the house to the brooder box tonight when we got home from church. The little chick is so tiny it looks like a baby bird! Sunshine is a buff orpington bantam, and she's a small one, the eggs weren't very big either. The other egg is pipping and peeping now at 11:30 pm and we're hoping to see a second chick by morning.
The little chick is hard to see beside her, but it looks like it'll have the silkie dark skin (our rooster is a silkie) and has tannish fuzz with a speckle on it's head. It's very adventurous already and it's so cute to hear Sunshine talking to it!
