The eggs hatched this past week and Kristi was able to conclude that a fertilized chicken egg will lose about .01 oz by the time it hatches. It was fun watching them hatch. We had seventeen fertilized eggs with growing chicks in them. Three of the eggs were not fretilized. Of the seventeen that were, only four actually survived. For some reason (we think maybe humidity in the incubator), the others died. It was disheartening to lose them, but we are enjoying the little ones we have. Mike wants to try hatching more, so in another 21 days....we'll see what we end up with...again!
