new chicks

We hatched some chicks. They are so cute.
It's really hard to hatch chicks.
Here is a list of things you need.

1. A willing hen.
2. Fertilised eggs.
3. A warm place that is soft.
4. Patience.

We had to borrow our neighbor's eggs since we didn't have a rooster. We had to mark the eggs so they wouldn't get mixed up with non fertil eggs. Sometimes other hens will lay ther eggs next to the ones you're trying to hatch. I was half way done with 8 eggs when catastrophe struck. When I was putting eggs in the fridge when I saw 4 marked eggs in the fridge AAAAAHHHHHH. My little sister had put them in the fridge. Two days ago 2 of the 4 hatched on the 20th day. The third chick hatched that night. The fourth one didn't have a chick at all.

Here are some pictures.


This is my chick named zim.
