Just a couple of chicks.

Jill built an incubator. It looks like a microwave but it's not. I promise. That would be cruel, and twisted. I'm certain the whole incubating and hatching process could not be sped up with the use of microwaves. I think instead of chicks one would end up with cooked eggs - and we've done THAT once already.




This incubator is made from a styrofoam cooler, picture glass, 25 watt light bulb, dimmer switch & fan. We've managed to keep the temperature right at 100 degrees. yay! Optimal temperature is 100.5 to 102.00.

The eggs in the photo are just stand-ins. They are from the refrigerator and just posed for the photo. We have to wait for the real eggs until my next rendezvous with Peter which is still a couple weeks away.
