Today's Chick Photos!

Here are our photos of the chicks today! Our thirteenth and final egg hatched this morning, which is pretty amazing considering that we had a full hatch and most of the chicks hatched early! We ended up sharing some of our chicks with another class whose hatch was not as big so we have 10 chicks living in our classroom! When the chicks had dried off a bit and were able to walk I transfered them from the incubator into a large tank where they have food, water, a heat lamp, and space to run around! The tank also provides a perfect view for kids to sit and "chick watch!" The chicks will live in this tank for the rest of the week then after school on Friday they move back to the farm at UVM! Tomorrow we hope to be able to take the chicks out, hold them, and let them run around a bit!
