    Chicken Behavior & Welfare class thread! (free & online)

    Hi everyone! I signed up to take a free class on Coursera titled "Chicken Behavior and Welfare". If you arent familiar with Coursera, you can take all their classes for free (equivilent to auditing a class) or you can pay and end up with some type of certificate of completion. I am not endorsing...

    Where would I 'donate' an unwanted class pet?

    So I'm in a bit of a dilemma. My teachers (or rather their higher ups) have decided to begin giving class pets to the biology teachers. Unfortunately, they didn't tell the teachers that we'd be growing whole a*s chickens as a class. In a New York City school. Once the year is over, the teachers...

    Help! Late DUCK eggs!

    Day 18 questions

    Hello all, So I have eggs in an incubator in my classroom right now. I set 8 this past Wednesday and 5 more on Thursday (I know it's not ideal, but that's the situation). I should've counted the days more carefully and planned better because I just realized that day 18 is on a Sunday and what's...

    Classroom Incubation--two different sets of eggs with different hatching times??

    The administrative assistant from the school provides the fertilized eggs from his neighbor. He picked some up this morning to set today, and he took some from under a broody hen. I candled one from under the broody hen and it looked like it could be as far along as day 18 based on the size of...
