The Eggs Are Here!

Poultry farmer Helen Schweitzer has brought some fertilized eggs for us to hatch in kindergarten this year. We set up two incubators in the classroom last week and talked about what their job is: to substitute for the mother bird. By Monday, we had 3 chicken eggs, 12 duck eggs, and 1 "mystery" egg. The chicken eggs will take 21 days to incubate and the duck and mystery egg will take 28 days to incubate. Let the count-down begin!
