Takaye's First Chick!

Last summer we hatched a single bantam (mini) chicken in our incubator on the kitchen counter and I named her Takaye. A few weeks ago, Takaye started sitting on a clutch of her eggs. Since we don't have a rooster here, her own eggs would never hatch. Mom bought some fertile ones so that Takaye could be a surrogate mother and the first one hatched this morning! It came out of the little green egg.
She has eight more eggs to go...I wonder what the other chicks will look like!?! The surrogate eggs were from many different chickens of assorted breeds...
