Chase, Brooklyn, Will, Lindsey, and Lexie used the smart board to write, "The mommy hen had 6 babies. The daddy came and fertilized them. Now they are ready to hatch in the incubator.

April 12, 2010** **The baby chick eggs are finally here! Farmer Alicia from Quiver Farm came to deliver our 12 eggs. She brought everything we need to take care of the eggs. We know that we need to keep the eggs safe and warm in a special incubator. The temperature in the incubator stays at 99.5 degrees. We have to turn the eggs three times a day. The eggs are marked with numbers 1-12, this way we know when we have already turned an egg. Farmer Alicia even brought the eggs' parents! We met dad (rooster) and mom (hen). Our eggs are scheduled to hatch Monday into Tuesday. We learned so many new things from Farmer Alicia. ** **We LOVE TO KID WRITE about BABY CHICKS!**
