Raising Baby Chicks

Looking at store bought eggs to find the egg parts.  Notice the small donut shape on the egg to the right.  This means it was a fertile egg before it went to the grocery store.

 

We are actually in the dark closet candling these eggs to see if the eggs we are incubating are growing.

  Look how many baby chicks we have now!

Theodore (we named him this because when we candled him in his shell he looked like a little fat fella).  Isn't he sweet!!
