7 out of 24 - Not too bad!

We are all done with incubating our chicken eggs.  We had a total of 7 hatch out of our 24 eggs.  On Sunday, I decided it was time to get rid of the eggs that didn't hatch since it was almost a full week since our scheduled hatch day.  I would say that 7 isn't too bad since this was my first experience!  The kids were so excited each time a new one hatched.

Unfortunately, 2 out of the 7 seem to have something wrong with them.  They are still alive and they are eating and drinking, but one has some kind of deformity in his neck - he is kind of bent over to the side.  He had trouble hatching and we ended up with assisting him when it looked like he wouldn't be able to get out of the shell by himself.  The other one, which was our last one to hatch, has a chunk of membrane from the shell stuck to his back.  I tried to get it off of him, but he was squirming around like crazy and I had no luck.  Hopefully these two will turn out to be ok, but for right now they are alive. 

Here are some more pictures of our 7 chickies!
