She's lovely and looks like she's posing! Does she have a name, or is her name just Chicken? :)

She is very photogenic 😁.

She used to have a name. But there were originally 2 sisters and I got their names mixed up, so now I just call her Chicken 🥰
 
She’s lovely, she is quite a poser! Chickens have attitude!
 
So Chicken was hatched from one of seven eggs I bought in Wales in Spring 2013, after visiting my son at uni. Having kept chickens for several years before this I decided to hatch my own and bring them up from Chicks.

Chicken eggs take 20 to 21 days to hatch so we timed putting them into the incubator so that they would hatch out over Easter, and we could be there in case of any issues.

It was the most amazing thing!

Unfortunately only 5 little chicks hatched out of the 7 eggs.
Here is a video of them when they were a day or so old. As you can see they are very lively and if you have the sound on you can hear them cheeping 🥰.

They are so adorable! Busy little chicks, love the cheeping 😍
Must have been so lovely to watch them hatch out.
 
They are sooo cute! 😍 I love their little sounds and the way they dig in the straw.
 
Lovely! They look quite big for a day old!

So yes you are right - just looked at dates on pics & videos (forgot u cd do that!). They hatched on 1st April and video was 13 April so they were 12 days old! Sorry!
 
I was just trying to imagine how a chick that size would fit in a shell ha ha.
 
That is really interesting to watch! From egg to Chicken. Looking forward to more.
