Growing Up

We have been so lucky to have witnessed the birth of an animal and care for it through its first weeks of life. Charlie the chick is now 16 days old, and Pika the (turkey) poult is 11 days old. It is amazing how much they have changed in such a short time! Today we observed closely the body structures of both of these birds. We noticed their combs growing on their heads, their new wing and tail feathers, and their size. We observed closely and recorded what we saw by drawing our little friends. They also tried worms for the first time-yum!
