It is to be observed that 'angling' is the name given to fishing by people who can't fish.

If GOD had NOT meant us to go fishing, WHY did he give us arms then??

(If you can't help out someone in need then don't bother my old Dad always said! My grandma put it a LITTLE more, well different! It's like peeing yourself in a black pair of pants she said! It gives you a LOVELY warm feeling but no-one really notices!))

You've got a sheep in there as well ! - doesn't that tend to squash the little chicks ? :unsure:

Good stuff Chris.

 

Next time you need to have a web cam (call it a hatch cam) running so we can all help keep track of the progress.

the Museum of Science and Industry in Chicago, Illinois has a great exhibit of chicks hatching. It's one of the favorites and always crowded. Good luck with your new venture. When they start getting the fuzzy down they are do darn cute :)

For relativly small scale production such as is shown in your photo, I think youll find that a chicken is a cheaper way to hatch eggs. It's also less labour intensive as the Mk1 chicken will automatically turn the eggs when your not there and is definatly the greener option as it's carbon neutral. :P
