Entry #1

Hey guys,
          This is my official first blog post. Pretty cool I guess. Anyways, I'm gonna be hatching chickens and then raising them and selling their eggs, if all goes well.

           I actually am not one hundred percent sure why I chose this project but my mom's a biologist, and it seemed like a really interesting topic, where I could get access to a lot of good information about the project.  I spaced it out so it would fit in the 16-week time slot since the chicks only take 21 days since they were fertilized, but I have to build their housing and everything, so it should be quite the challenge.  I'm not really actually sure if I knew what I was getting into when I decided my project, since it seems like a lot of work.

          I really hope they hatch. Like, of course I hope they hatch, but if none of them hatch it'll suck. I'll be super pressed for time. I'm going to Costa Rica for spring break and I don't want to hatch them before I leave and since they take 21 days to hatch...it'll be crunch time if the first batch doesn't hatch and I have to hatch another batch.  I guess that's my greatest fear.
I'm pumped to raise these chicks into chickens. They're gonna be sooo cute at first.  I also hope I don't get roosters because once they start cockadoodledooing I'm gonna have to give them away because I really don't think my neighbors will be too pleased waking up everyday at dawn. I know I wouldn't.

I'm excited to see how the chickens develop, and how well I raise them, while they're still in the eggs and after they hatch.

That's all for now!
