Well HELLO there little one!Ahhh...the sound of chirping chicks...at ALL hours of the day and night!
We have been incubating 41 eggs for the last 21 days. YES. 41.
Hatch date was 2/9/11.
Only one little one made it out that morning...and the rest have been steadily arriving since.
We currently have 13, with one working hard to come out. The rest of the eggs appear to be doing nothing, so we will give them a few more days and see what happens.
I finally made Jared move the incubator into the office, because the little boys couldn't sleep through all of the racket.
It is always fun to watch the wonder of things being born...such an amazing process, all created by God in such an amazing, well-orchestrated way. So. cool.
I love the way they all pile on one another when they sleep:
These little lovelies will be our up and coming layers this summer. Now, hopefully they aren't all roosters. That. would. not. be good.
