Miracle in the Incubator: How 7 Chicks Emerged from Just 12 Eggs Against All Odds!
On my way back to our bedroom, where Angela had been sleeping soundly, I took another look at the incubator to find four more chicks tripping all over each other, and peeping their little heads off. I felt it was only fair to wake Angela up so she could share in the moment. So far, every chick had waited until we weren’t looking to come out of their eggs.
There was still one egg with a small hole in it that hadn’t done much else. Angela’s daughter and son-in-law brought the grandkids over to see the new babies and we spent the day hanging out, and petting chicks. At about 4:00 p.m., that egg started rocking and shaking, and we could see the telltale little beak popping through the shell, working its way around in a circle. For an hour, we sat around that incubator watching, and finally, this new baby kicked its way out of the shell. (Angela posted a video of it hatching on her Facebook page on Sunday evening.)
