HERE THEY ARE! We have 9 healthy chicks! We had a great experience in library and STEAM watching our chicks in the incubator and then witnessing them hatch.
Now that they hatched, our chicks have been moved into a sandbox with a warming plate, chick starter food, water, and shredded paper. They will stay with us for a couple of days before we return them to the farm. Returning them to the farm allows us to continue our program from year to year. The eggs we received this year to incubate may even be from chicks we hatched last year! Truly the circle of life! (Can't you hear the song?!)
If you are interested in hatching your own chicks, take a look at our earlier post HERE. We love teaching life cycles with our chick unit, virtual classroom, and google presentation. It has been a great month.
