Miracle in the Incubator: How 7 Chicks Emerged from Just 12 Eggs Against All Odds!
Now, for those of you who live or grew up on farms, you’re probably going to roll your eyes at us. But, for Angela and I, this has been a nail-biter of a week! This was our first time ever incubating and hatching our own eggs!
As you all may remember, we lost Randy the Rooster to a predator last month. Believe it or not, roosters are kind of hard to come by around here. Mainly, people with chickens don’t like to have more than one rooster. They tend to fight with each other, as well as being a little aggressive with the hens. It was this event that convinced us to attempt to hatch our own eggs. Yes, we could have driven down to Tractor Supply, and bought a box of chicks as easily as ordering a plate of Zaxby’s Tenders. But, they don’t sell cockerels (baby roosters).
