Hello and welcome to BYC! :frow Glad you joined.
What happened to the one you lost?

When he was born his leg got stuck in the incubator. He then had spradle legs, which I did everything for that. But I went on vacation and when I returned he could not stand and was sick. Not sure. I had someone else watching them. It was sad he was the first one that hatched. Now I have one that has a prolapse vent.

Do you *have* to hatch them every Year? If the distriqt requires it, I advise making them ensure that there is a proper and backup person to take them, and ensuring your Students know this.

We hatch them every year. Usually they go back to the farmer. This year I had the option because I live out in the country. The students always know they have some where to go. We teach them all about the life cycle etc.

Welcome to BYC! This is a great place for questions. Classroom chicks do seem to be a gateway drug to the chicken life!

I love teaching about the life cycle but so get attached every year because of having to take care of them. So I was happy to take them this year.
