chicken update

greenspun.com : LUSENET : CountrySide Family : One Thread

had one more set of eggs to hatch out,, was suppoosed to be on Fri, according to my calander anyways. Nothing. So, on Sat, I took the eggs,, stuck them into a toilet paper roll tube, and put the other end to my ear,, sorta like an egg stethascope. I could hear scratching and such noises. So I put them back under mamma, and I wake up this morning,, to 3 more chicks, one was still wet, the other 2 were pretty fluffy. One egg to go in there,, but if nothign by tomarrow,, then is in the compost pile.
