Baby Chicks Arriving

Perhaps you know that we are incubating eggs.

Day 21 came and went and nothing. We had decided that we weren't going to have success, when low and behold (!) two egg teeth out of two of the eggs appeared! Occasional cheeps have also been heard. So we'll see if they actually make it out!

This is definitely a learning experience...especially for one child who has yielded to the temptation to help one of the chicks and turned an egg--in spite of specific instructions not to interfere or help. This child seems to always know best, you see...

We'll post pictures. And perhaps hold visiting hours! (It couldn't be a busier week, though!)

Hooray and Congratulations! How fun and exciting! Growing up, we alway got our "peeps" in the mail, so never got to witness the hatching. Let us know how things go!
