Congrats! I know what it's like to raise chicks from eggs. My children did this for science fairs. The one year daughter procrastinated until it was almost too late. But we made it. However, the morning of the science fair, the electricity went out and the incubator began to cool down. So we wrapped it in blankets and brought an electric blanket with us to school. You got it! The room began to 'tilt' with all the children grouping around my daughter's exhibit. These little babes decided to hatch then and there. It was exciting. After we were finished with the chicks, we gave them to a friend who had a hen house. My guess it was chicken dinner for them, but they didn't invite us for dinner. :)
Oh, well, just wanted to contribute. You brought back some fun memories.
