Guess what?

We've got two chicks. They hatched this morning. A third one is working on it but doesn't look to chipper at the moment; eggs four and five aren't doing anything yet.

The two that have hatched are lovely - cream with pale brown stripes on their heads. They are in their new brooder.

I know we've a long way to go yet but this is further than we've ever got before, so fingers crossed.

I can't tell you how excited I am. Pics to follow.
