Chicken House tour

Speaking of Kindergarten kiddos and life cycles, they have been studying the life cycle of chickens, as they do every spring.  They incubate eggs and keep records of each step.  Their chicks are due to hatch today!  Part of their chicken unit involves touring several chicken operations in our area.  For several years they have visited our chicken house.  If you have any questions about the life cycle of a chicken, ask one of these kiddos.  They have all the answers!

Kindergarten class in our chicken house.  They make these darling t-shirts each year, using a potato as a stamp then paint on the beaks and legs.  So cute!

This morning the Kindergarten classroom was a buzz of excitement and students watched their eggs hatching new baby chicks.

This little chick is working hard to break out of its shell.

And this little fella is checking out the world from an incubator in a Kindergarten classroom!

Chicks that hatched yesterday, a little bit early from their "due date".

And speaking of chickens, I got this back from the quilter a last week and just finished the binding.  I think it turned out really cute!
