Kyle --

If you decide to hatch chicks in the house please be careful. Several years ago, I hatched some cochins inside because I wanted them to "bond" to me. I had them safely in a box on the top of a counter. When I came home from work, something was wrong..... Chattie was on her favorite chair and she had a "squeeky toy". She was really upset 'cause the toy wasn't squeeking anymore. I was heartbroken 'cause her "toy" was my favorite of the baby chicks. It had hopped to the top of the box (how I don't know) and had fluttered to the floor..... enter Chattie and the terrier terror hunting instinct.....

The remaining chicks went down to the barn and were safely installed in a stall.

If you haven't found the chicks/eggs yet, check to see if your state has an "ag" newspaper -- Georgia has something called the "Farmers and Consumers Market Bulletin" that comes out twice monthly. It is a free publication and is also on the web -- Category Index
