Natalie Can't Wait Any Longer -

Eggs are moving!!!!!!!

Day '0' and the eggs should be hatching any time now - here's a video of one of the eggs jiggling...

Coop Almost Done

We're coming down to the wire on the coop construction -

Uncle David's working hard to get the shingles on - Eric is "supervising".

gotta get the roof on

DAY 6!

Day 5 - Candling

The Coop is coming along...

DAY 2

We "candled" the egg using a flashlight and a piece of cardboard with an egg-sized hole. It works best in a completely dark room. It allows you to see the chick growing inside the shell- a little like ultrasound for pregnant women.

Not much to see yet, but we will be posting pictures every few days, and maybe even some video when the chicks get bigger and start moving.

THE EGGS ARE HERE!

The eggs are here and they are like a turqoise color its really cool!

Coop Construction

Coop Photos

Here is the coop I am building with my dad. That is my friend Lila. She already has chickens.

We decided to hatch some chicks for the science fair, so we ordered three Americana chicken eggs from Meyer Hatchery.

Americana's are really cute and kind of chubby. Here is a picture of one that I found on the web.

The eggs should arrive on Monday, March 9 and will hatch 21 days later! We will keep you posted on their progress.
