Unexpected Chickam, Phase Two Chicks!

Uptown Bus' eggs are hatching! So far she has two chicks. This afternoon, she abandoned her eggs, but we had the ReptiPro incubator fired up and ready, so I relocated the last three bantam eggs to the incubator. Tonight I'll candle the remaining eggs to see if they are viable.

Meanwhile, we took the chicks away from mom for a few seconds for some quick pictures, despite how mind-bendingly ANGRY it made her. Here is the first to hatch, Caramel. Screamed like  banshee when taken away from mommy, I'm calling 'rooster' on this one right now.

Next is Downtown Taxi, a very chill large, black chick.

The little family is doing well, more pics as mama hen permits!
