Trip to the Chicken Hatchery

Hi - Welcome to my blog. Today I took a trip to the hatchery with my grandpa & grandma & my brother Zach & sister Madison. We drove to Zealand Mi and i bought a dozen fertile eggs. The name of the breed is called Isa browns which is the easiest breed to tell apart the male and female. The lighter ones are males while the golden brown ones are the female. This morning I plugged in the incubator and filled the trays with water for humidity, it was 100 degrees Fahrenheit last time i checked. Now i am waiting for it to go down to 99.5 degrees. My friend Katherine was nice enough to get me an incubator and the information on how to hatch the eggs and where to get the eggs. Thanks Katherine! :) Soon I will set the eggs up in the incubator. For now they are in an egg container but I put them downstairs and not in the refrigerator so my Dad wouldn't accidentally try to cook them. :) I will post pictures too. Stay tuned...
