Hopefully hatching chicken eggs...

Well, driving home from a new friend's house with nine fresh, still warm, fertile chicken eggs sitting in my passenger seat I convinced myself that I should try to "grow" them rather than eat them. This is a first for me and I may well be setting myself up for failure but I just had to try... Everything I've read online was very specific about maintaining 100* temp with only 1* fluctuation and very specific humidity or they won't hatch. I'm really good at justifying things and convinced myself that this probably isn't always the case in nature sooooo we set up a styrofoam box with a water pan for humidity and a heatlamp and I have nine little eggies sitting in there all cozy as we speak. We have a thermometer in with them and it fluctuates between 97 and 102* (still trying to figure out just the perfect height for the bulb). My husband is as big a sucker as I am and is already calling them our little babies. :) Keeping fingers crossed...
