I contacted my local town, they said I can be put on the agenda for December...not ready. But have to get everything to them, including $600 to have a public hearing at the meeting and $250 to try to get a variance. Recommended for us to do both. My daughter really wants a couple of chickens...
So this chick started to make an external pip last night. It made a little progress but nothing has changed. Egg chopped off, but looks like membrane is still intact. I just candled it and the air cell doesn't look like it pipped the air cell. So is it is in the wrong position? I don't see any...
So, we incubated our first chick who hatched last night. We have more chicks to come. We've known that we can't keep them (going to grandparents and the lil farmer class), but it's a good project for us and my daughter, who happens to be homeschooled, so it's very educational.

My daughter and I are incubating eggs that she got from her Lil Farmer class. She got 8 eggs and 6 appear to be developing (on day 14 now). Well, I got eggs from my parents who thought for sure their eggs weren't fertilized, but wanted to double check...just in case. We put them in the incubator...
