I'm a mum!!!

Typically, as with all of these things, the little peep hatched overnight when there was no one watching.

It was a very clean hatch:

Once the peep was fluffed up I took him (or her) out of the hatcher and into the brooder:

Within minutes he was stumbling round, and once I showed him where the food and water were I felt much happier!

Of course this was just a "dry run" as I hopefully have 10 CLBs to hatch next weekend!
