Before I did this, I...
My first hatch completed last weekend and I was so excited to finally get to see the fruits of my hardwork pay off.
Granted, we got 7 happy healthy little silkie chickens, lost 3 (all of which piped and zipped but didn't make it out of the incubator) and then three eggs that did not even try to...
