We put eggs in an incubator. The first time
there were no hatches. The eggs must not have been
fertilized. We started again with new eggs.
|
We waited 21 days. We were excited when we saw a
crack in an egg. We could hear peeping too!
|
When a chick hatches it is wet and very tired.
It tries to walk and then has to rest awhile.

|
After a while the chicks get fluffier. They stay
close to each other and do lots of peeping.
|
After a day we moved the chicks to a chick house
we made from a box. There was food and water and a light to
help keep the chicks warm.
|
The chicks like to sleep in a big
pile!

|
We had fun sitting and watching the chicks. They
grew fast in the four days we had them in our
classroom.
|
It was fun to hold the chicks. They feel so
soft!
|
It was hard to say good-by to the chicks, but we
knew they would be happier back on the farm.
