How many chicks will you hatch in 2026?

[2ndTink]

Ordering some Exhibition type RIR from cackle this year! I’m planning on helping conserve the true RIR line and maybe even showing them next year if I get good birds.

I hope they are great quality and you can show them!

Conservation is a great thing too!

@tviss711 has a hatch-a-long going for the hatch they are doing in class!

I think this is so awesome, so many kids would never otherwise have an opportunity to see how an egg develops and a chick pops out.

Thanks I’ll have to find that thread for this! I teach middle school math & science in an urban district, and without fail my kids say it is the favorite activity they have done while in school! We have some future chicken owners in the making! They are fully responsible for feeding, cleaning & watering while we house them, we take guesses on which will hatch and in what order, what color chick will come out, take percentages of weight loss of each egg, make graphs, and give them names.

I'm on the computer now and it's so much easier to navigate and grab links, sorry for not doing it last night

Wow you really put a lot into the hatch, that's really great. Making math and science fun

I vaguely remember we hatched chicks in kindergarten, I have no clue what all we did around them. I think I remember them setting eggs as they were developing on the projector, wow dating myself here
