B & B Dreams

We're supposed to study egg incubating/hatching in homeschool this unit.  I'm at a complete loss.  I tried to hook up with our local 4-H, and they were supposed to hold training classes for teachers, but they never got back to me.  I live in the big city and can absolutely NOT keep the chicks for long once they are hatched.  What would I do with them?!  I found a place I could get a simple incubator (or instructions to build our own) and a place to order eggs.  But being a city girl, I think I might prefer it if we could jump in and observe someone else before I tackle this.  We live in Chicago, in an apartment, and this seems so overwhelming to me.  Is anyone nearby that is hatching their own chickens?  Can't blame a mom for trying!

Blessings,
