All of Our Eggs in One Basket

Well, "the chicken lady", Jennifer Shawker, was in our classroom yesterday to deliver our eggs and incubator. We will be taking care of the eggs until they hatch. I think this is a great process for 3rd graders to be a part of! They are so excited!
Mrs. Shawker came and spoke with us about how to care for the eggs. She also explained the different parts of the egg and how the embryo grows. She even cracked open an egg and showed us the germ spot.
It will be our responsibility for the next 20 days to monitor the humidity and temperature in the incubator. The better job we do of this the higher our hatchability rate will be. We are looking forward to watching the chicks hatch. The big day is Oct. 19th! Stay tuned for updates about our Egg to Chick project!
