Hello everyone, We just got a new incubator for our Children's Barnyard at the Farmers' Museum. While we would like to have eggs at various stages of development, and live hatchings every few days would be exciting, we are unsure of what to do with the chicks! We usually have staff purchase some of our extra livestock, but with such a larger influx of chicks, we aren't sure this will work. Has anyone else encountered this situation? Any solutions? Thanks,KeelinSee More
