The incubator
We can't have a real Mama Hen to sit on the eggs in the library, so we have an incubator to keep the eggs warm. An incubator is a heated container used to hatch eggs.
Join our Facebook Page!! See more pictures on our Facebook Fan Page!
Type Chicago Ridge Chicks in the search box on Facebook!
The eggs!
The eggs were laid by a hen. The eggs are fertile..meaning a baby chick could hatch from them. They are different then the eggs that you would buy at a store. The eggs that you buy from a store are not fertile.
More eggs!
38 Eggs Total

The incubator keeps the eggs warm while the baby chicks grows inside the egg. The temperature inside the incubator is 100 degrees!
