Today the eggs finally hatched and we have 14 baby chicks so far! They are so cute and the boys absolutely LOVED them! Each boy got to write his name on one of the eggs and they have been waiting patiently for 21 days for them to hatch. As someone's chick was born, all of the other students were saying "Congratulations Dad!" to the boy whose name was on the egg. It was adorable!
Inside the incubator where they all hatched
The boys took turns every day rotating the eggs in the incubator as well as monitoring the temperature and humidity levels. It was so neat for them to actually see the life cycle happen instead of just reading about it in a book.

The finished product!
The boys also got to take home their egg once it hatched. The chicks will be in the classroom under an infra-red light until Thursday when they will go home with some of the students who live on farms. It defintiely made me want to take a few home with me...and it also made me miss Puddles!
