Baby Chicks!

Hi Friends!

First of all, I want to apologize to all my kiddos who tried to look last night at the pictures. I promised you that I would post them, and when I went to do it -technology wasn’t wanting to cooperate. The website was down for posting last night. L

But…
Great news! We have chicks! The kids are so excited! Sadly, our little eggs didn’t end up hatching. When I came into the classroom this morning, we still didn’t have any cracks. I decided to email the guy that brought them to us from the extension office, and he informed me that he would bring out some chicks to us!

Our baby chicks came with names: Chicky and Lucky. After playing around with them today though, a few of the kids decided they liked the name ‘Happy Feet’ for one of them instead. He was doing this funny little kick causing the wood chips to fly around. It was very cute! J

When the gentleman from the extension office came out, he did end up cracking the eggs to peek inside. He said that the chick was fully developed inside all 3 of the eggs, so he wasn’t sure what caused them to die. L This gave us a good opportunity to talk about how not all things live in nature, and while it is sad, this is sometimes how nature works. The kids weren’t to down though because we had talkative chicks chirping in the background!

We had them through the day tomorrow, and now they're on their way to a new happy home as a 4H project for a family! J

I’m also including a few pictures that some of the firsties drew of the chicks! Super cute! Check out the detail! Love it!

Thanks for checking in on our day!
Have a GREAT weekend!!!
