Watching Babies

It's so fun to watch the chicks!  Whenever I go outside, some are resting, some are eating, and a few are running around.  When they see me though, towering over them like a big predator or a hawk, they all run and hop-fly into a huddle.  They're full of life.

The turkey poults are doing pretty well, too.  There's one that seems a little sleepier, thus weaker, than the others, but none of them see sick.

The chicken eggs that we're incubating to sell to a customer are due to hatch today.  Yesterday, I saw several eggs rocking (preparing to hatch) and heard little cheeps from a couple others.  Half an hour ago, when I checked on the incubator, one egg was chipped a little bit!  Tomorrow, there should be newly hatched chicks.

Are we going to get to read more about your farm?

I remember growing up and my dad incubating eggs in an old electric fry pan rigged with special lights and the pan sat in the house on a counter. We kids were absolutely thrilled to watch this hatching process and I wish every child could experience this.
