In the fall we attempted to hatch chicks but did not have a successful hatch.  Today we began a second try at this life cycle project.  Mrs. Swavely got us 2 dozen eggs from her uncle’s farm and we added them to the incubator.   I numbered each egg and marked each one with a pencil O  on one side and X on the other.  Three times a day the eggs need to be turned over and these markings will help us know which ones we’ve turned. The incubator must remain at 100 degrees.  If all goes well we will have little fluffy chicks in 21 days!  Check back daily for updates on how our chicks are growing and the students who are helping to care for the eggs.
