Hatch Update

April 7, 2013

My project chicks, discussed in this post, are almost done hatching. Six chicks have hatched and four more are in the process. None of the eggs shipped from Florida made it to hatch. Shipping is very hard on hatching eggs. I am happy to have a 90% hatch rate with my eggs, otherwise I would be kicking my incubator to the curb!

I am excited with all the pretty little chicks. Now I just have to wait six months for them to grow up and start laying.  Some just hatched in the last few hours and still have curved toes but they will be up and running amok soon enough. Here are the first five, in no particular order, ready for their closeups.
