Adventures in Egg Hatching: We Have Chicks!!

I just wanted to drop in a let you all know that our chicks hatched and are all doing great!  Today I'll give you a sneak peek of the cuties, and then tomorrow I'll be back to share their hatching story.  You won't want to miss it because it was a pretty exciting event and I will be revealing the winner of the incubator!!

Here is short video of Ella teaching the chicks how to eat!  The little girl and chicks are pretty cute!!

Six fluffy chicks!

Please don't forget about the Brinsea Mini Advance Incubator giveaway!

Thanks again to the folks over at Brinsea for letting us use their incubator to hatch our chicks and to Aunt Angie for giving us terrific eggs!  I feel like much of our success can be contributed to a great incubator.. this has all been a learning experience for me and if I had been using an unreliable incubator I don't think things would have gone this well!  Tune in tomorrow to find out if you are the winner and to hear about how our eggs hatched.

See ya soon!
