Watch Baby Chicks Hatch at Holbrook Farm Today!

Looking for something to do on this dreary rainy day?  We just received news that the baby chicks are hatching right now at Holbrook Farm!  Hatching lasts for approximately 24 hours so best to get over there soon.

Owner Jess Wong said she has about 42 eggs and eight of them have hatched so far, and another eight are cracking through, probably by hatched by tomorrow.

It’s important to keep the temperature at 99 degrees and to  monitor the humidity too, Wong said. She does this by putting a wet sponge in the incubator and also misting the eggs.  You also have to keep turning the eggs.

She said you can put the eggs in a dark room and shine a flashlight through the egg to try and see how many have an embryo, but they don’t do that and just put all the eggs in an incubator, which takes 21 days.  This is day 21!

We will post more photos as they hatch!

  1. I became all of the african american partner there isn’t anything love these guys! That they complement just about everything. These are generally easily portable, shiny and so tender and comfortable on the inside of. They use great much like the various other regular limited betterscooter.com http://adf.ly/6249830/banner/www.scamadviser.com/check-website/betterscooter.com.

Thankful The famous host oprah formed they absent relating to her most loved items demonstrate.

  2. Howdy just wanted to give you a quick heads up.
    The text in your article seem to be running off the screen in Opera.
    I’m not sure if this is a format issue or something to do with web browser compatibility but I figured I’d post to let you know.
    The design look great though! Hope you get
    the problem fixed soon. Cheers

  3. Hey! I know this is kinda off topic but I’d figured I’d ask.
    Would you be interested in exchanging links or maybe guest
    authoring a blog article or vice-versa? My site covers
    a lot of the same subjects as yours and I feel we could greatly
    benefit from each other. If you happen to be interested feel
    free to send me an email. I look forward to hearing from you!
    Awesome blog by the way!

  5. Write more, thats all I have to say. Literally, it seems as though you relied on the video to make your
    point. You obviously know what youre talking about, why throw
    away your intelligence on just posting videos
    to your blog when you could be giving us something enlightening to read?

  7. I think that what you posted made a bunch of sense. However, think
    about this, suppose you were to create a awesome post title?
    I ain’t suggesting your information is not solid, but what if you added a headline to maybe grab a
    person’s attention? I mean Watch Baby Chicks Hatch at Holbrook Farm Today!
    – Bethel Advocate is kinda vanilla. You might peek at Yahoo’s front page
    and see how they create news titles to grab viewers to open the links.
    You might add a related video or a related picture or
    two to grab people interested about everything’ve got to say.

    In my opinion, it could bring your posts a little livelier.

  8. I’m really impressed with your writing skills as well as with the layout on your blog.

    WYSIWYG editors or if you have to manually code

    I wanted to get advice from someone with experience. Any help would be
    greatly appreciated!

  14. Hello! I just wanted to ask if you ever have any problems
