I am hanging up my tweezers and flashlight, cleaned out the incubator.  The hatch is over!  We had 18 chicks I believe and we gave away all but 2 today.  It was a great time seeing those peeps come pecking out of the shell.  Abby and Matthew loved every minute of it.  I sweated bullets as the 20 hour window would pass and some did not come out.  YES--- I operated and it worked out.  One chick died this morning as I should of let mother nature take it in the shell but alas I could not let it go.  I started thinking about how it was going to live out it's life as a special needs chick and that it would have to live inside. Sigh
Here are some pics of the cutest creatures on earth and a pic of one of our friends getting to know Powder.
PSSST... Jenny my Home school friend is starting her brood on Monday   Passing the flashlight and the incubator on!
