Reggie, Thank you =D
Update: the two trying to come out of the shell came out this morning, so now in total I have 10 chicks.
On the 24th of Feb. I well hopfully have some more chicks, I have 48 eggs in a incubater at the school im in (it holds 100 eggs and im sharing the incubater with another girl who is just hatching out brown egglayers at the same time, but her eggs will hatch out later then mine) and on the same day I put about 12 eggs under a broody hen, now all I got to do is wait the time.
