Incubating Eggs part 2

The day before we left for Spring Break, our eggs arrived from the farm.  Everyone was so excited!  The children have been waiting for the eggs ever since our incubators arrived! 

 
 
We got 18 eggs!  The children wanted to put them in the incubator as soon as Mrs. Shelton delivered them, but from our research we found out that they would need to incubate for 21 days before they hatched.  We didn't want them to hatch over the weekend so I decided to wait a few days before putting them in the incubator.
 

 


 

I came back to the school on Tuesday morning while we were on Spring Break and put the eggs in our incubator.  We will keep track of the chicks' development with the chart.  Each day, our helper will cross out another picture.  It won't be long before we have chicks!
