Hey arlee,

If you have extra roos needing a home from the hatch, let me know. We lost our BR roo to a predator and need a new one.

Cool, Snuggle - If we get a decent hatch.....you know, don't count your chicks....

(

If you think incubating eggs YOURSELF is bad....try trusting them to a chicken-clueless teacher and a classroom of excited 7 year olds - I keep going back and forth as to how many I'm going to send into the school and how many to keep back at home - the school number is getting small and smaller...LOL!... at least if I incubate some of them at home, I feel more confident we'll at least get a few hatches and I'd hate to have a classroom of disappointed kids if they don't get to see some baby chicks!)

ANYWAY, if all goes well, I'm SURE I'll have some roos in there. They will need homes so my %^&* neighbor doesn't complain to the city and I end up having the chicken police show up at my door.

I'll keep you in mind!

arlee, Please keep us posted on how the hatch goes! Your son's teacher might surprise you - I was totally clueless also but I successfully hatched 14 out of the 18 eggs I had. Since I teach at a small school, the whole school got excited and involved in it. Many of the kids in the other classes and the other teachers stopped by daily to see how it was going. When the chicks started hatching, then it got really exciting! I had to forget about trying to actually teach math or anything for a few days. One of the other teachers posted a sign above my door: "The Chicken Coop".
Your son's class will never forget this. Bless you for making it happen for them!

DANG, Susan!
I'm nervous now

I know the purpose is to teach the children... but I'd be screeching "Hands-Off-The-Bator!"!
I hope the hatch goes well.
