One Hatched!

We had our first incubator chick hatch. I peeked into the incubator last night on the way to bed, not expecting anything, and found egg pieces on the floor. The chick was halfway through zipping already and we were so surprised. For the next 10 minutes, my kids and I sat there and cheered this little chicken on, it was so fun. We’ve been waiting to hatch our own chickens for years and it finally happened. This morning we have one more who has pipped and 3 more yet to go. This really is a dream come true. I still can’t believe we are actually taking steps towards our own little acreage and homestead.
