Cheepies!

Mhari got some fertilized chicken eggs and an incubator from our friends, the Eldredges, so she could hatch her own chicks!  The Smiths gave us more eggs so she had 11 viable eggs.  It took about 3 weeks for them to hatch!  It was so exciting to hear the little egg start cheeping before they even hatched!  One chick hatched earlier than the rest.  It was alone all day waiting on its friends.  Jeff and I ended up at Atwoods and decided to surprise the kids with more chicks.  We bought 4 more!  When the kids got home from mutual they were very surprised to see so many chicks!  After that the rest of the chicks started hatching.  With the 4 we purchased she has 13 chicks. Mhari is loving her little friends and has been naming them all, with help from Lorna.  It is fun to have little chicks again!
