Crack! Crack! Crack!

 This is a photo of Renee when she was born. Yesterday we had a discussion about premature babies and why they are more likely to live than premature animals in the wild. So today Renee brought in pics from when her and Hollie were born. They were very small and about 7 weeks early, so they spent a lot of time in an incubator.

We have got three chicks now and a couple are on their way. We have a box ready for the chicks and we have put shavings in the box with a heat lamp so they will be nice and warm. We will be taking the first three out of the incubator and we will be putting them in the box that has been ready for them. We will probably be starting to feed them today. We have a black, white and yellow one we will be naming them all but since some will look the same we will put tags around their feet. The box we are putting them in has to be 85 degrees Fahrenheit  so the chicks will live. Everyone is getting really exited about having the chicks and holding them. We haven't found out which is a boy or a girl but we will find out soon.                                                                                                       by Meg and Xanthia
