First Hatch!

Much to the delight of my anxious kids, our chicks hatched last week!  Out of an initial 22 eggs, 19 hatched.  One of the chicks died after "zipping" (where they peck a long series of holes in the shell).  I'm not sure what happened to him, but he must have gotten stuck.  So, we ended up with 18 chicks!  That's a great success!  Within 24 hours, we had chosen 5 to keep and sold the other 13.  Now, we just sit back and wait to do it all over again in about two weeks!
