We hatched baby chicks this week!  We started with 26 eggs from our Rhode Island Red chickens.  I accidentally broke 2 of them while candling them (seeing if there was movement in the egg using a light), one of them was unfertile, and one was an early death for some reason.  So as of day 8, we saw movement in 22 eggs.  All 22 of them hatched!
