As snows blow once again, fiercely about us, today looked like a nice day to hunker down and talk to the eggs in the incubator.
About two dozen eggs were initially were set in the incubator a little over a week ago. These were checked on day seven for development. Those that absolutely looked like nothing was going on, were removed. Those that were questionable and without doubt looked like a chick was forming were placed back into their warm cradles.
So far it appears that we have 18 eggs that show some signs of life. I never cease to be amazed as I watch the shadow of a little pea wiggle and turn in front of the light. I imagine the little chick saying, "please turn off the light! I'm trying to get some sleep."
