Chickens Hatching this Wednesday

 Casey Farms came for a visit and delivered 24 eggs for incubation in the classroom.  The hatch date is this Wednesday. It is an day of non-stop fascination!

This week we will also be reading about chickens and their unique body parts. Dissection of eggs (store bought, unfertilized) will take place as well, as we discover how the parts of a fertilized egg can develop into chickens.

Stay tuned for the excitement!

Here's the first day where "our" eggs were put into the incubator.
