| These pictures are not the best as my camera wasn't the greatest when I took them, yet they are wonderful pictures of a chick hatching. ENJOY!! |
| This is my chick named Isaac. Brandon |
| This is my chick named Nephi. (Of course named after me). Nephi |
| This is one incubator that our father made. The chick eggs went inside here for lock-down. This is about 3 or 4 days of not opening the incubator or turning the eggs |
| The eggs are in "Lock-down". You can see some eggs through the window. |
| Here is a chick that hatched and has been dried for awhile. |
| The hole is getting bigger as the chick is pipping it |
| This is one we purchased at the store. We hatched ducks in this one. |
This is a calendar we made showing
the different stages of the embryo and
also good and bad eggs that have
been candled. We also had a
calendar this size and wrote the days
the eggs have been incubating and
when to candle, close down the
incubator and when eggs should hatch.

| We are looking at the back egg with a hole in it. This egg is the one we will be watching as it hatches. |
| The chick inside has pipped around the whole egg. It now needs to push the egg apart. Here is another one that hatched right beside it. |
| The chick is almost out. Such hard work they have to do. |
| Here a chick is laying on top of the one who is trying to get out of it's shell. |
| The chick is almost out. It just needs to get the shell off it's head and get the rest of his body out of the shell. |
| Hard work is worth the pay. He is finally out and ready to relax before he heads out to explore the world. |
| Out of all the eggs in the incubator. We hatched 14 chicks. Here they are at 2 days old. Cute huh!! |
