First Chick

This little thing is twenty seconds old in this picture, not including incubation time; the very first of our hatchlings. Chicken Girl McKenzie was there to witness the hatching at 6:34 this A.M.! I know he looks a little dead, but I assure you, he's up and about. I'll be moving him to our brooder as soon as he can stand up. Several other eggs have been 'pipped' so we should see more chicks soon.
