This is just a reminder for those of you who said you could help with donating. I appreciate eveyone who has agreed. We have had great communication. I have started a blog so you will all be able to see what is going on will post the site when I figure that out!!
Thank you to all that have donated In 24 hrs we have reached the total eggs needed. That is just awesome!!
Hi, I am fairly new to the chicken and quail raising. I am the yearbook sponsor at our middle school. The kids took their who's who pictures here at my farm with the animals. The math and science teacher that was a chaperone has asked me to help out with a educational unit on incubation. This will also follow over into the math part how many eggs and what percentage hatched or didn't hatch! I am fairly new to the incubating myself. I have got my eggs from fellow BYC members. We are a small school 300 in the middle school. 30 in the 7th grade class that will be participating.
We are looking for donations of chicken or quail eggs. I didn't do well with ducks so I thought quail or chicken would be best and easiest. I have 3 styrofoam Incubators I am going to let them use. None of my birds are laying yet they are 20 weeks to just hatched. That is why I can't help with the eggs and am asking for donations.
They are planning to set the eggs March 13th for the incubation unit in class. The would like to have 4 eggs per student so that would be 120. Any Donation of eggs, You could send would be greatly appreciated. The kids are doing a penny war at school to raise money to build the brooder and pay for the supplies feeders, waterer,heat lamps, and feed. We will have money to reimburse for the shipping but probably not enough to pay for eggs
Also, anything we set and hatch from this batch of eggs is going to be theirs to keep, or sell if they choose.
We want them to learn about candling, humidity, pipping and zipping and all that will go on with taking care of them, the responsibilities. This will also teach them percentages and fractions for math.
If any of you would like to help out, send me an e-mail and we can work something out, I am responsible for getting all the eggs and if I have to I will be paying for them out of my pocket. I have already talked to a few local people about some eggs, so I do have a few locals I will be picking up from. If you are close enough to me we can meet up and save the shipping costs, I can do that! I just want them to have a good time hatching and a fun learning experience too!!!
.
If we can receive them on or before March the 11th That would be great. Plan on letting them sit for a day then each child will put theirs in the incubator friday.
For any of you that have signed up to send me eggs, I will PM you around March 2nd to give you a little reminder. After they hatch I will try to post pictures of the kids with their chicks!! This is will be a great hands on learning experince and so much fun!
I am happy to be apart of this BYC family
