Day Eight of Blog and Day 6 of Eggs
Today Hollie and Jessica had to turn the eggs over. Mrs Hancock is going to put some water in with the eggs so that the shells don't get too hard for the chicks to chip their way out at hatching time.
The chicks inside the eggs are starting to get their beaks and starting to move. Room 4 are thinking of getting a big cage so we can fit all of the chicks that have hatched in it. It takes 21 days for a chick to hatch in an incubator. Some of us each day have to turn the eggs because the incubator hasn't got a automatic turner! We have about 40 eggs in the incubator! Mrs Hancock is going to nearly have more chicks in her class than children in her class if they all hatch. Our class wrote chicken stories in writing and we might share some on here. We are making pompom chicks in art and will take photos of the finished chickens and post them on here. By Pascoe and Millie.

How exciting,I'm loving reading about your great chicken adventure. I hope you do find a big cage for your chickens otherwise I won't be able to come and have a look - I'm a bit scared of birds!!

I can't wait to read your chicken stories! Mrs Waite
ReplyDeleteWhere will you put the cage if you get it?? Hungry chicks make lots of noise, especially 40 of them!
ReplyDeleteWe would need a big hen house but first we have to put a proposal to Mrs Waite and Mrs Stark to see if we are even allowed to keep the chickens at school once they hatch. We will let you know how we get on.
ReplyDeleteGood work team, looks like you're all working hard!
