3 Chicks

 On Sunday, Jan 24 three chicks were hatched in the incubator at the school.  These chicks hatched as a result of needing some eggs to verify that growth was happening inside the incubator with six eggs that had been picked up at a local farmers' market on Jan 3. The eggs from the farmer's market were not fertile and removed on the 10th day of incubation, they were a very dark brown.  The three eggs from our farm remained in the incubator and hatched.  Two blue and one brown egg.  From the blue eggs, we hatched a yellow chick and a striped brown/black chick. From the brown egg, we hatched a black hen.
