Chickies....

21 days ago, on Feb 8 we put 12 chickies into our havo-bator incubator.
We marked an x on one side and an o on the other side. Twice a day we would turn those eggs. Checking the temperature and the water level.
On day 18, we stopped turning the eggs. We closed the lid securely and left the eggs alone.

On day 21 we heard cheeping sounds.... WE could see the little beaks pecking at the egg shells, working on getting out. Everyone camped in the living room, right by the incubator, waking up to scratching sounds...
The CHICKIES HATCHED!! There was 3 new babies, when we went out to the barn. By the time we got back, another one had hatched.

WE transitioned the 4 babies to the homemade "brooder" where we had a heat lamp set up to keep them warm. They were happy and healthy.

Another baby hatched soon after...

We loved watching the babies peck away until they escaped from the eggs...

It was an amazing experience to see the miracle of birth right in our own living room. We took eggs that could be eaten and simply put them under the heat of an incubator, where God performed his mighty miracles in creating the chickies.
