The Chicks are Hatching
April 5, 2011
One of the chicks hatched and one is about to hatch. We can see the chick breathing and its feathers. It was pushing all afternoon. I think after school it will hatch and we will see two chicks in the morning.

The Incubator
March 31, 2011
The incubator gives moisture to the eggs, heats the eggs, and gives oxygen to the eggs and chicks. We must keep the tempreature at 100 degrees and must turn the eggs so the chick doesn’t stick to one side.
Candling the Eggs
March 31, 2011
We candled the eggs and one of the chick’s foot was moving. It was very exciting!

When people make the pysanky egg, they take out the
inside of the egg and they paint it using things like wax.
