Darn - my incubator is occupied. I am student teaching right now in a 'inner city" (for around here) school. I am doing a whole thing on chicks as most of these kids are from poverty level homes and never get to see things like baby chicks. The curriculum theme that I was assigned to teach from is even called "Down on the Farm". Works well for me!

I need to whittle down the flock some anyway or find that new home I want out in the country.

I'll test incubate from your new chicks though next March tongue
