Chick Watch: Baby Number 7 Is Hatched!

So this time yesterday, three babies had hatched and a fourth was pipping through.
By morning we had six chicks, one egg was pipped through and one showed a vague sign of pipping.
The last egg that had been pipped has been discarded and a fluffy yellow and brown chick is snuggled up under her mama. There is just one more egg left and I feel like it shouldn't be long. The two broody hens who have been incubating the eggs, the wonderful Cheryl and Adele, are keeping that egg directly beneath them which suggests that they have innate knowledge that there is a baby chick in their in need of further incubation. We're hoping that baby chick number eight will be joining us within the next 24 hours.
