1st Chick Hatched

Guess what my first chick hatched today and another one is peeping I'm so happy! 

Walked in my room no peeping no breaks in eggs. Then a few minutes later I hear peep peep and I see this up above! 

Just showing step by step in pics! 

What yay! 

BaBam half way broken around!

I helped it here!

Next almost out! 

Free at last! 

Exploring around!

Here is the chick now, now the chick has to stay in the incubator after hatching to keep warm and dry off just a few hours or until it's fluffy!!! Also it helps the other eggs to want to hatch its so cool I'll try to keep y'all updated!! Have a good evening!!!!

Incubating Chicken Eggs!

Hey, over the next six days I will be updating y'all on all the animals I have now! Today I'm talking about incubating chicken eggs. Right now at our farm that's what I'm doing. I'm incubating eight eggs not that all of them will hatch but I hope they will. They are supposed to hatch either on February 21-23! I'm so excited! 

This Is my incubator!

I highly recommend this one I bought it from Tractor Supply Co. a year or two ago. 

Here is a picture of all eight of my eggs. I had to take the picture through the glass because you shouldn't open the incubator unless your  turning the eggs, which you have to do if you don't have an automatic egg turner and I don't. 

Here is a picture I took of one of the eggs before I put them in the incubator! This one is my favorite egg I love the white specks on its shell. 

Here are a few tips you need to know if you want to incubate chickens!

• The temperature in the incubator has to stay at 99.5 degrees Fahrenheit. 

• It only takes 21 days for the chicks to hatch after you put them in the incubator. 

• You have to keep water in the incubator or the chicks will die because they need moisture. I didn't do that the first time I incubated chicks and they all didn't hatch I was so sad. 

• You have to turn the eggs 2 to 3 times a day, if you don't have an automatic turner witch you can also buy at Tractor Supply Co.! 

• 3 days before the eggs are supposed to hatch you have to put them on the screen so when the chicks start to peck to get out they can move around. 

We'll thanks for reading,tommorow I will be talking about all of my chickens  outside and the parents to the eggs I'm incubating!
