Chloe was so "egg-cited" when her teacher chose her to bring the soon to hatch eggs home over spring break. The only problem was that we weren't going to be home for most of the time, but having the nice Dad that she does he agreed to check the temperatures, and add water each day while she was away.
We all kept waiting and waiting and then Saturday we noticed a hole in one of the eggs.
It took awhile but later that day it finally hatched out. It happened while Chloe was at her soccer game, but Tanner took this picture and sent it to her.
The little kids loved holding them....
and so did Chloe. She also named them all.
By the time Monday rolled around three had hatched. Chloe really wanted to keep them all, but I told her there was not way. We weren't zoned for chickens, plus we didn't have anywhere for them to live, so back to school they went.
Unfortunately at school the incubator got unplugged or something and none of the other eggs hatched. Also the black chick Jaycee died-Chloe was quite sad, but it got a nice burial in the school garden.
This was a fun experience for her, and I'm glad her teacher let her have it.
