11 hatched and one more Pipped when I left! Pics coming tomorrow!

Today is hatch day! Yesterday we had 5 pips, and one of them afforded a lovely view of the beak poking out and chewing (absorbing the yolk sac). The kids were fascinated! A few just watched for the last few minutes of the day while waiting for the busses to arrive…

Thanks! Great idea!

@casportpony @winterwolf4 just adding you guys over here as somehow the thread got posted twice! 7 days to go!

Also, chickens are not allowed in the city I teach in, so I am thinking we can practice some persuasive letters/essays and send them to the city council. A LOT of the kids want chickens now…lol.

Totally forgot to post pics last week. Today is day 14, we candles, weighed, calculated weight loss %, and are now waiting impatiently! Tomorrow the kids will pick a breed to research and look up facts about eggs laid per year, hen & rooster height & weight, features, colors, comb/feathering...

I could always take them, but I have a college student working with my class and her family has a farm, so she offered to take them!

I find with the 360 I need to add water every night. The Kebonnix is good for a few days if I don’t get a chance to fill it. Forgot to take pics at school today, will have to do that tomorrow!

I was pleasantly surprised to see humidity stable at 47% this morning when I got in, so it held well over the weekend. Glad I decided to use the Kebonnix, as the 360 was extremely difficult to keep at 50%! We will candle & draw air cells tomorrow, day 7. I did a quick peek this morning, and all...

Tomorrow should be exciting! I am going to try a quick candle when the kids are at lunch. It will be day 3 right before lunch. If I can see into any of the lighter color eggs, I’m going to surprise them after lunch by looking at a couple! 😊 Fingers crossed we can see something! Today we worked...

That is an awesome opportunity for kids in your area! I am working with middle school students, so we will be implementing some higher-level math & science, ex calculating & graphing % weight loss, and some research of breeds. Will be a fun unit for sure!

We set a variety of eggs, weighed & candled each one, talked about where it came from (some from me, some from a neighbor, & some from another co-worker), and general egg-handling discussion. Read through a incubating chicks printout @PippinTheChicken shared with me last year (made into a packet...

Hi everyone! I did my first hatch ever last year with my students at school. It was such a success, I am doing another one with this year’s class, starting tomorrow! Almost every student told me it was their favorite activity of the year. 😊 I will be setting 12 eggs in my Kebonnix. Pics of the...
