3 weeks ago, my family started incubating chicken eggs. Some friends lent us an incubator and another family supplied us with eggs. Today, one of the eggs started hatching! At first it just started moving slightly, then a tiny crack appeared. Every five to ten minutes the crack would grow a little bigger. We had to keep the water in the incubator full and we had to flip the eggs 2-3 times a day (except the 18th day and later). We put an X on one side of the egg so that we knew what side to turn it to.

| The eggs-- we asked for green ones so that once these ones hatch, they would lay green eggs (assuming we get some hens). |
 |
| This is our incubator. |
 |
| This is the heater, I think. |

| These are the eggs today. Do you see the crack? |
