Our school lets the kids in grade 1/2 hatch eggs in class. I donated some chicken eggs and 4 weeks later brought home 9 new members for my flock. The whole class got to watch some chicks hatch in real time. They learned about the development of the egg and got to take care of the chicks for a few days. They were sad to see them go but I’ll make sure to send updates throughout the rest of the school year.
And here is all 9 of them.
This makes me happy on so many levels. Little boys getting muddy and having fun, not even realizing how much they are learning about life, where their food comes from, having responsibilities and being close to nature. Learning to appreciate all those little things I remember from my childhood which made me the person I am today.
This was a surprise. They were 2 days early. I was checking under Mama and there were 4 little fluffballs. The kids were so excited. Since I picked them up to check them over anyway I let each of them hold a baby for a second. Mama is friendly and didn’t mind.
