Hi all!
I'm new to posting things so I hope this turns out alright... :)
I'm a classroom teacher and I'm relatively new to raising chickens. I've decided to hatch some chicks in my classroom. I have a rooster and several hens. One hen successfully raised her first two chicks this past fall.:) I'd like to use their eggs in our classroom rather than order online however I've never done this before. I've tried aligning their rough hatch date so we're not on vacation. I also live in central Maine, so the temperature is ranges from 10- 40 degrees outside this time of year. How do should I transport the eggs? How much time do I have before it kills the developing chick? I don't live far from school (approx. 10 minutes). Any advice? I've never used an incubator- let alone in the classroom, so any advice is very helpful!
 
Check out the learning center. Go to page 2 and look at hatching eggs 101. I've learned so much there. There are some very knowledgeable people here too. Good luck to you!
