Here is my video of the Silkie chick hatching. I also have some pictures of the AWPR(Ameraucna/White Plymouth Rock) . I don't have any video clips, though. Sorry!
Yeah, I just held the AWPR for a few seconds, so we could get some pics. But the Silkie I held a lot more, because I didn't want the egg cracked any more. Then, when it was actually hatching, I put it down and let it do it's business!

I love chickens and have plenty of them. It all started in 2006, when I started the 4-H Chick-Chain project and received 28 chicks. We continue adding to our mess of birds each year. We received 44 little chicks in the mail in late March of 2008 and also hatched chicks for the first time, and those little babies are now grown hens. This past year we bought some different breeds from the Co-op, along with 4 ducklings. Our chicken breeds consist of Polish, Cochins, RIRs, Ameraucanas, many many Silkies, and lots of other fun breeds. We have six ducks, who go all about the backyard like a gang. Our total amount of poultry is currently around 40.
