How Many Eggs Did You Get Today?

9/16

Dang, I though I was going to have my first 10 egg day since before Thanksgiving. Got all nine by noon, then.......
nothing.

Oh well, more layers coming on line soon!
 
I did provide eggs to an experienced chicken person for a classroom hatch.  There is actually a thread for hatching in the classroom if you search for it.

The lady that hatched the eggs kept all of the chicks for her own personal flock.  There were some issues with the school administration however.  They were fine with the hatching, but once the chicks were out of the egg they wanted the birds gone.  They ended up granting special permission to keep the chicks at the school until they were a week old but the kids were not allowed to touch them. 

On another note, I think a lot of people hatching in schools do not know what to do with the chicks afterwards.  Parents/kids are not equipped to deal with young chicks that need a heat lamp.

Great, thank you for your response. I did email some questions back to her, they want two dozen and they have five teachers with incubators. Not sure if they are only hatching ours, did ask what happens to the chicks and if hatched and I can't remember the last one. We will see what they respond, they did this last year as well.
