Chick #6 arrived on Monday, April 20th

A small dark brown chick has hatched!  Geronimo made his entrance at 5:15am.  He has been joined by four more chicks named: Pee Wee, Cluck Norris, Elsa, and Chicken Little - all named from visitor suggestions.  A total of five chick eggs hatched out of twelve.  A hen will typically have 50% of their eggs hatch, so we feel happy that our five are here and thriving.

Chicks are in a tank and will be onsite for viewing until Thursday, April 30th.  Stop in and see them soon!

We thank Dr. Ed O'Brien of Animal Care Clinic for his sponsorship of the incubator.  Other sponsors we thank for their support include Homer Township Vision Center, Barbara Bainbridge, Ludwig Feed Store, Tiffany's Kennel, and patron donations.  Thank you one and all!
