Cheep Cheep Cheep

After a short time in the embryology station at 100 degrees and the perfect humidity, our baby chicks have started to hatch. The pod at Gunston is filled with loud "cheep cheeps" with only four hatched so far. Our sweet baby chicks can only stay a very short time at school before they have to go back home so students are passing by the pod to take the opportunity to hold and learn about the the chicks. Maybe the teachers are having even more than the students?!
