Well I just got thinking......
Our birds are 11 weeks old today! and first, shouldn't our roo be crowing??
Second, my main question....
When our ladies begin to lay, I thought about talking with my little guys teacher (2nd grade this year) about possibly having the class hatch a few eggs... or see if they can. Is there something that we would have to take etc to help that process? We've never hatched eggs as this is our first go with chickens (which we are loving!) We don't plan to hatch any eggs, at least not right away so this subject is completely new to me anyway. the plus side (should the teacher/school allow this) we will be able to take the chick/chicks home and raise them. I just thought this might be something fun for the kids to watch and learn. I know they don't do a huge science subject until 3rd grade i believe but I don't want to offer this and have it accepted and then leave them trying to scramble for supplies etc.
thanks for all the help.... and advice!!!!!
