CHICKEN STORY PT. 5 

This is the last installment of the chicken story, folks. I've been putting this off for a while because the thing is...we don't have chicks. 

Major disappointment. 

On Thursday we decided that enough was enough; if the chicks weren't hatched by now they never would be. STOP READING NOW IF YOU ARE EASILY GROSSED OUT AND/OR SENSITIVE.

So we got the eggs. And cracked them. They were all rotten. And in three we saw embryos. One was teeny, the other was a little bigger and the last one looked quite like a chick. It had a long neck with small body, large head, two eyes, and a teeny tiny beak. But since the eggs were rotten they were already dead. 

So yes, it was a huge disappointment but we will try again. After the hen has some time to have a break we will put more eggs under her for her to brood on. But this time in an area away from the other chickens. 

In probably a week or two we are going to try to start the process over again, so stay tuned.
