Doug Akers arrived with eggs this morning that are due to hatch this week. He regulated the temperature in the Hatcher so that it maintained 95-100 degrees and added water to a bowl to create the proper humidity. Now we wait until the chicks are ready to peck out of their shell!
The Foster Chick Care families are waiting for their babies. 26 of the 50 have arrived by mail this morning. They will remain under observation until they are drinking, eating, and rested. One by one the trained Foster Chick parents will arrive to pick up their charges for the next two weeks.
Several chicks will remain at the library so that we can all watch them grow and change until May 15th.
Stop on by and check out the Chicks!
