Started an egg hatching project on the first of April, so the eggs would hatch around our 17th Anniversary and Megan's Birthday. We are almost there, only a few more days. I will update this post and put in pictures as soon as I have some thing to share.

I have been keeping a daily log of the journey through egg hatching. I was going to type it all in here but who really cares.

I also have a hen that is setting on eggs, so I have been writing a journal about her as well.

Today, April 17th is a sad day for me. At about 1:30 this afternoon I stopped in to check on her and it was upsetting, I think more for me, I do not know.  When I lifted the lid to the nesting box Liberty was trying to clean up a broken shell by dropping it into the open nesting box that I have closed off for her food and water. None of the other eggs seemed to be damage but they were covered with egg. I tried to clean up the mess as fast as I could because she just wanted to get back on them. I ran back to the house and grab a few paper towels and a moist one to wipe the egg off. I pray I did not do too much damage to them. She went right back to setting on them.

I am going to go out and have a service for the little chick, I know it seems silly but it only seems right to me. If Megan were here she would want that too.
