Our egg hatching mission: let’s get down to business

Watch live as our home-bred chicks hatch

We’ve reached the final stage of our at-home chick-breeding experiment. The chicks could hatch any day now. If you don’t want to miss the miracle of birth, you’d best follow our livestream here.
For the past few weeks, other online portals have had their cameras fixed on a mountainside. All so they don’t miss (in the worst case scenario) a small Graubünden village being buried by a rock slide. Sure, we could do it too, but we’d prefer to take a constructive approach.
«Life finds a way,» as Jeff Goldblum said in Jurassic Park. That’s why you’ll be able to watch the final days of our hatching experiment at home with us – and be there live when the chicks hatch.
Update Thursday, 29 June
What’s happened so far
On Tuesday, 6 June, we turned on our dining room incubator and put two dozen chicken eggs inside. Since then, we’ve been loving and caring for them to the best of our ability. It remains to be seen how well we’ve done, if we’ve done well at all. Chicks usually hatch between the 19th and 21st day of incubation. It’s showtime.

I'm a full-blooded dad and husband, part-time nerd and chicken farmer, cat tamer and animal lover. I would like to know everything and yet I know nothing. I know even less, but I learn something new every day. What I am good at is dealing with words, spoken and written. And I get to prove that here.
