Baby chicks

The chicks have hatched.  We have 3 male and 2 female chicks.  The outlet that the incubator was plugged into at Ashley's school apparently had a short.  The heat was off for an unknown amount of time.  The eggs were supposed to hatch on Thursday, March 31.  On Friday, with no indication of any pipping, we thought they were all dead.  I went to the school in the afternoon to pick up the eggs and I was excited to see one egg was pipped.  I brought the eggs home and we had 5 hatch on Saturday.  The others were all formed but died at some point before they hatched.  The kids at school were thrilled to be able to see the 5 chicks on Tuesday. 

Chicks never stay small long!  This is a video at 10 days.  They are already trying to fly.  We are going to hatch a dozen eggs again so that Jenna's boys can experience chicks when they visit on Memorial Day weekend.
