=== Today we made a home for our eggs that will be coming tomorrow. The eggs will be in an incubator until they hatch. We set up the incubator today so it will be warm enough for the eggs when they arrive tomorrow. The eggs must be kept at 100 degrees in order to grow and hatch. We also put water in the the incubator to help keep the eggs moist. === media type="teachertube" key="a4b5b26046bf67018a2b" width="400" height="350" The Eggs Arrive April 14, 2009 Today we got our eggs and put them in the incubator. When we put them in there, we had to mark them with an x. this helps us keep track of turning the eggs. The reason we have to turn the eggs is because thei momma hen is not here to turn the eggs. The eggs must be turned twice a day to help the chick develop.

Candling the Eggs April 22, 2009 Today we candled our eggs. Candling is when you put a bright light behind the egg to see inside. When we candled our eggs, we could see a shadow of the chicks and veins. Here are some web sites the explain candling more. []
