Ms. Irene labeled the eggs with a pencil. I had to write very lightly so that the eggs didn't crack. I put numbers on top of the eggs so that we can keep track of which eggs have baby chicks growing inside. We have 38 eggs. There is also an X on one side of the egg and an O on the other side of the egg. This helps us to see if the eggs are being turned. The eggs need to be turned at least 3 times a day. The eggs need to be turned so that the baby chicks do not stick to one side of the egg. We are very lucky, we have a yellow automatic egg turner inside our incubator that turns the eggs for us. It gently rocks the eggs back and forth. Sometimes when you see the eggs you will see them tilted towards the window, othertimes you will see them sitting straight up, and othertimes you will see them tilted toward the clock in the Youth Services workroom. In the video clip, I am gently placing the eggs into the yellow cutout circles in the automatic turner.
