Getting Ready

Hatching day will be here before you know it!! Yesterday the first grade teachers began to get things ready for the big day. First step: removing the turners from the incubator. Now the eggs are sitting on a wire rack. This will allow the chick to hatch and dry in the incubator.

 

Then of course they set up the pen. Our chicks will be living in the library for a few weeks, so their new home is all ready for their arrival. Fresh cedar chips and a heating lamp are sure to make their stay more cozy. The whole school will get a good look at our chicks each time they come for library. It's truly is EGGS-citing for everyone! 

 

 

And last, but not least, the live feed is up and running. It will officially begin broadcasting tomorrow, Wednesday. We expect to hear some pipping in the next 24 hours. That's a sign that hatching will soon take place. You won't want to miss this... be sure to check out our live feed by clicking HERE.
