I knew the chicks would hatch (or at least I hope) on the 30th.

I love bottle feeding!<BR/>Sounds exciting (or eggciting) about the baby chicks and goose...baby chicks take exactly (or eggsactly)21 days to hatch (3 weeks) while geese take...well, I'll have to check, but I know they take a bit longer than chickens. About the chicks, on the 21st day, they'll make a tiny hole or 'pip' in the shell using it's egg tooth, which will fall off after it hatches. After making the pip, the chick will rest for 3 to 8 hours. (So if you see a tiny hole, you'll know that it'll hatch in the next few hours.) Then after resting, and after about 40 minutes of hard work, the chick will break out. Hope that's helpful! It's lots of fun to watch! Problem is, over here there's always a momma hen sitting on top, blocking the view. :) So, good luck! <BR/>Hope all is well in your neck of the woods! :)<BR/>~EmilyMindyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06754460949381632652noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5098254683210469350.post-76273020290475284042009-03-20T06:25:00.000-05:002009-03-20T06:25:00.000-05:00CUTE KIDS!
