Hey everyone! I have THE BEST science teacher EVER and he's letting me incubate chicks in school! It will be so much fun, but so so difficult!
We are starting on Thursday. I'm using a little giant incubator and an automatic egg turner due to weekends. I wrote a guide and will be doing most of the work, due to many inexpirienced fingers that could be fatal handling the eggs.
I'm hoping to set a variety of eggs laid by my hens and see which has a better hatch rate. Hey, what do you know, I may end up housing 20 more chicks by the end of the month! It can't be that bad.
I went through the precautions that come along with the incubation process and my teacher agreed! I'm so excited! It'll be so much fun! I will post updates any time I can and pictures! I may need lot's of help along the way, so stay tuned! This is my second hatch and my first time using an egg turner. I'm 100% sure there will be problems. 60 OTHER people who all want to get up-close and personal with the chicks... *faints* I'm a very particular and controlling person, so if just one thing goes wrong or if someone , say, knocks over the bator or gets too close, *faints again* Gosh, what did I get myself in to??
Thanks for looking! Please post comments, questions etc. This is a very ambitious eggsperiment!
