Congratulation, I remember how excited the children and I were at our first hatched chicks. Many years ago now but still remeber it so clearly. Enjoy it, hope it live a long, happy healthy life.  :chook:

thats the only time ive moved mum. she choose some dpm to nest on,must be toasty warm. i doubt theres any more. ive checked about 70 eggs and none were fertile so i thought fernando wasnt the man for the job.
