Cute little guy. Quite inquisitive. I suggested we call him "Nugget" but the kids wouldn't let me. :)[/caption] This first chick hatched 24 hours before the others started to show up. And he was fast! We noticed that he had started "pipping" (pecking a hole in the egg) in the evening, and then within about an hour, he was out and moving around. [caption id="attachment_2746" align="alignnone" width="400"] Chick number two[/caption] This second chick felt a bit overwhelmed by the first and decided to move (fall) downstairs to the bottom level of the incubator shortly after we took his picture. Seems to be ok though. And you can see his sibling just peeking out of the third shell. [caption id="attachment_2747" align="alignnone" width="400"] Three chicks in a bucket[/caption] Last night, once the first three had somewhat dried off, and we didn't see any further immediate activity with the other eggs, we scooped them out of the incubator and moved them to their new home in a large bucket with water and a heat lamp. So far, they seem to like their new residence. There has been no further activity yet with the other 4 eggs we incubated. These guys were just early! I will likely update this page with further developments as time goes on.]]> https://ptc.jamesandcarolanne.com/2017/08/18/global-daily-august-2017 Fri, 18 Aug 17 12:10:58 +0000 https://ptc.jamesandcarolanne.com/?p=2615 * GlobalDAILY is the monthly prayer calendar of Central Heights Church global workers. Each month a question is asked of us in order to facilitate discussion and inspire us to share new and interesting facets of our ministry. The question: September is a time of change so, how can we pray specifically for you, your family and ministries? Please pray for our family as we ramp up for this new school year. We are choosing to homeschool both kids again this year and so are always on the lookout for new and interesting learning opportunities for them. Please pray also for our ministry and personal fund-raising. Pray that the Lord will bring to our minds people who we should invite to support us, as well as for us to be on the minds of those He is challenging. Thank you for continuing to keep us in your prayers. Visit our ministry site for more information and stories about us and the ministry at ptc.jamesandcarolanne.com]]>
