Turning the Eggs

We are 8 days in to the incubation of our chick eggs and students in our class have been learning how to take care of them! Each day two students are our "official egg turners" and have the job of rotating the eggs in the incubator carefully onto their other side so that the embryo inside develops properly. We learned that a mother hen turns her eggs underneath her as she sits on them during incubation so we are learning to do the same job in class! Below are a few photos of the eggs in our incubator and "egg turning."
