Hatching Barred Rocks

The first chick started hatching Friday night.  The guys sans Matt were at the Twins game, but Kelly was here to work with the girls and their horses, and we all stayed up late with our eyes glued to the two 4 x 8 inch hazy, blurry plastic windows of the incubator (those are getting replaced for the next hatch!).  This is the first time we have done this that we actually got chicks to hatch and it is amazing!  The kids were just mesmerized, and so were Kelly, Kat and I.  The way our God has ordered things is just sooo cool.  This early hatcher was alone until Saturday afternoon when the second hatched (equally as amazing, and Pete was here to see that one!), followed by four more over the course of the day and last night.  That makes six out of 15 so far... I will take pictures of them later today.

Don't tell me these things! I'm totally addicted to making seeds sprout as it is, now you're making me want to go hatch some birds!!!
