Our New Babies!

We are so excited! 21 days ago, we started up an incubator and added 24 fertilized eggs. After much care turning them, watching the temperature and charting the days...We hatched our very first chick!! As of this weekend, we started to see eggs wiggle on their own. This morning we were watching as the first crack started. We could see what looked like an eye blinking and ever hear a small "cheep". My kids and I were so excited so we came back to school this evening to find our little chick had just hatched. There are a couple more starting and the new one will be able to move to the home we have built for them tomorrow!

We want to thank the Neifergold family for letting us borrow the incubator, getting eggs and building their home! This is such a great experience for our school, we are very thankful!

Day 21- First thing in the morning, we have our first crack!

This was how much more it opened up by the time we left!

She is out! We named this chick "Jelly Bean". She is still all curled up!

Anxiously waiting and watching!

Jelly Bean

This one is checking out the world before he hatches! (Can you see the eye?)
