We have some chicks! It has definetley been a learning experience, unfortunetley,we didn't do it quite right. We only have about a 50% hatch rate since we didn't set the eggs in the incubator correctley. You are supposed to set the eggs in with the pointy end down so the air sack can develop in the fat end. Since we put them in pointy side up (like you see them in a crate when you buy them) the chicks don't know where to come out. They end up trying to get out the middle of the egg (where the membrane is) which is mostly unsuccessful. So far we have 20 chicks and hopefully a few more on the way. All the dogs are very interested!
