Every spring my kids and I incubate and hatch chicken eggs. It is our Easter tradition. When I first started hatching eggs, a farmer told me that it is very important that the chicks break out of the shells completely on their own. It strengthens them to peck their way out and prepares them for survival. This was a good warning our first year, because it took over twenty-four hours for a few of the chicks to finally make it out of the shell!
