The Great Chicken Adventure: Day 20 - 10PM

After a flurry of excitement form the incubator, we now have 11 chicks and counting! Between 9PM and 10PM we had four chicks hatch out. So far they seem quite healthy, tired though. The new chicks are being rotated through the small box, and once theyre dry (45 min-ish) they get put into the larger box. There are about four more that have pecked holes in their shells, which means the night isn't over for us yet - theres more to come. The chicks have had lots of visitors and have gotten handled lots. Its better if theyre handled from a young age, that way (ideally) they wont fuss as much when theyre older. I will be checking throughout the night on their progress, so expect an update in the morning.

Here are the latest 3 hatch-outs!
