Facebook Live Chick Hatching and Hatched Cams: You guessed it. For the fourth year in a row, we are hatching eggs live. You will get to see the babies hatch and see them in our hatched cam as well – all done on Facebook Live. The eggs go into the incubator the weekend of April 15 and should hatch the weekend of May 6. We will have events on Facebook Live putting the eggs into the incubator, candling events while they grow and then the biggest and best event, watching them hatch early May. Mark your calendars today.
FACEBOOK LIVE EVENTS.
- Friday April 15 at 7 p.m. – Watch as we place the eggs in the incubator and learn a bit about the process.
- Friday April 22 at 7 p.m. – Watch as we candle the eggs for the first time. See how they are growing inside the egg.
- Friday April 29 at 7 p.m. – Watch as we candle the eggs for the last time. See how much they have changed since the last candle a week ago. Last chance to see them before the hatch.
- Friday May 6 and Saturday May 7– We will go live as soon as we see the first pip in an egg. We will remain Live the entire time (technology permitting) and we will restart the feed every 4 hours, 24 hours a day until the chicks are hatched. Then view our Hatched Cam after to see the baby chicks as they get used to their new surroundings. Depending on where we are with COVID numbers, we may allow viewings of the babies, so please check back.
