Dreamz Photos

Who the heck is Dreamz, you ask?

Well, he is the first little chick we hatched in our make shift incubator.  Let me explain how we got Dreamz.  We had Wilma (turkey hen) sitting on some chicken eggs.  She was broody so we figured, what the heck, let's throw some chicken eggs under her and see what happens.  She managed to crushed 5 out of 6 eggs.  We saved the 1 egg and put it in what was a seedling starter kit. I, Carol, spent several hours researching the internet to find out what we could do.

This is where the pictures start... with a fertile egg in a seed starter kit.  One must keep it warm and moist and turn it several times a day is what I learned from my studies.  It took about 3 days before the first pip.  The egg actually moved and you could hear peeping.  It took several more hours for him to break free.  In the end we had one very healthy chick, fresh knowledge and a great story.
