The chicks are hatching! They have all the nutrition they need from their time in the eggs and will stay in the incubator for 24-48 hours. This encourages the remaining eggs to hatch. Once all eggs have hatched, they will be moved to an enclosure that has food, water, and a brooder to keep them warm.

*Our eggs were borrowed from a friend of Mrs. Earl's. The baby chicks will be returned to the coop where the eggs came from so they can live long happy lives!
