Newly Hatched Peachick
We had another peachick hatch over the weekend. Here it is fresh out of the shell...

Newly hatched peachicks stumble around in the incubators looking a lot like T-Rexes or some other dinosaur with a long neck.
I do wish another would hatch SOON though. The incessant peeping is driving me right round the bend. Yeah, yeah, I know I didn't have far to go, but this little guy has LUNG POWER!
Makes it hard to get to sleep at night when he's in full chorus all night long!

Wow! Thanks for that video. I had no idea that the pea fowl looked so different from typical chicken chicks. Odd little cuties, aren't they?
Could you put something in there for him to snuggle until a sibling hatches? Any signs of pipping from the other eggs?
Too cute!
Congratulations on the birth of your new velociraptor! What a cutie. I never knew that they were vocal at night too. I hope you end up with a whole bunch of babies!
Thanks for the congrats. They are cute, aren't they! (King of ugly-cute when they're first born, but cute!)
Hi, I have a peachick egg that is supposed to hatch today, I hear the peachick peeping inside the egg but he is not coming out. Could you hear the peeping of your chick inside the egg, and for how long? I am thinking I should make a small air hole for him.
Did you have any luck with your peachick? Sometimes they peep for hours before starting to hatch. It's always a dilemma for me on what to do. Some have trouble getting through the shell, but if I help them out too early, it's a bloody mess and they don't always make it. It's a tough call what to do. Good luck.
