PRESENTATION OUTLINE
Caring for Eggs and Chicks
Part of the instructions we received with the eggs
The incubator temperature had to be 99.5 degrees
We purchased 24 fertilized eggs and marked them
The eggs had to be turned over twice a day
this is called "candling"
The eggs began hatching on the 21st day
This is the first chick to hatch
The babies are called "hatchlings"
The poor chick at the bottom died during hatching
Once dry, the chicks go into a brooder to keep warm
The chicks all huddle together to sleep
The chicks all huddle together to sleep
Turkens got their name because people thought they were a turkey/chicken hybrid
This Cochin will have all black feathers as an adult
