How Egg-citing!!!

Monday and Tuesday have been very exciting days for us this week. Monday morning I heard peeping coming from our incubator. Our first egg was beginning to hatch. Below are the pictures of the process- we started with 6 eggs, when they were candled only 5 were still viable. Our first egg, the one pictured on the blog, hatched Monday and the other four hatched on Tuesday. After they hatch they are moved out of the incubator into the brooder box. Below is a picture of the four that were hatched when I left school today. I just got off the phone and found out that we are now the parents of quintuplets- all five eggs have hatched!!

An aerial view of our brooder box. All of the chicks are goldish brown with one black one with white tipped wings.
