Hello sweet parents and grandparents! I promised last week that we'd resume regular blog postings this week! Just when you promise something, something always happens! We've been SUPER busy and I can't wait to get you all caught up!
Here. We. Go!
During Spring Break, I waited until Tuesday to put our eggs into the incubator (that way they wouldn't hatch on a weekend, when we are not here). Here are a few pictures of our chicken adventures so far...
It only takes 21 days!!!
We have a chart hanging in our room with a picture of what the chick looks like inside for each of the 21 days. Each day, we reveal that day's egg and record the results in our Chicken Observation Journal.
Sorry it's sideways, but this is the cover of our book!
Here are a few example pages...

This is our incubator with our precious eggs inside!
The eggs are sitting in an egg turner that slowly rotates them. I am SO very thankful for this wonderful invention! Before I got one, I had to turn the eggs 4-5x a day! So I would do three each day and then I'd come back at dinner time and after my kiddos were in bed (for 21 days)! :) The whole experience is SO WORTH IT!!!!!
I've hatched for the past three years and I have to say this is one of the most memorable teaching experiences I've ever had!!!!
We only have 5 more days until hatch day!!! Stay tuned!
