    How it's made - Hatchery chicks

    We always TiVo the "How it's made" series. This one is a factory operation to incubate, hatch, and sort day-old chicks. For obvious reasons, this episode is a family favorite, and we've saved it permanently to show to friends and guests or just to re-visit for a (somewhat indignant) laugh...
