Y'all, we have 17 new, fuzzy little babies at our house.
Jealous?
I thought ya might be.
A few weeks ago Jeremy had the fantabulous idea to incubate eggs. Ya see, last year we brought 8 lovely little chickies home from Coastal. And one of those little chickies wound up being a rooster. We thought it might be kind of fun to hatch our very own eggs. What a Science project, right?
So. A few days after we got home from San Diego, we fired up the incubator, and nestled a whole bunch of little eggs inside it.
And waited.
And turned them.
And waited.
And added water to up the humidity.
And turned them.
And waited.
And . . .
Lookie what we found on Saturday morning!
{Warning: Baby chicks aren't exactly the cutest when they're first born. "Birth pictures" to follow}
{Also, Mimi . . . no more chickie horror stories, k? That was frightening.}
