Well thid week at school the chicks were a hatching and the kids were going nuts!!!!! The kids were pretty excited on Monday to see a box in their classroom with 5 little chicks in it just a chirping away. I don't think I can quite explain the excitment of it for the kids.So I thought they were excited until one hatched in class with us later in the week! I have to admit, watching it peck it's way of the shell was pretty dran cool! It's not so pretty tho once it comes out for about 4 hours. You can see their skin which by the way is see through and so they look like they are all blood and matted wet hair! But as the time went on their little hair puffs up and all the sudden you've got a little cuttie! This really set the kids in chaos tho, and it made the week long and I actually needed a nap at the end of each school day, LOL!!!!!!!!!
Today a duck hatched. The egg was much smaller than a chicken egg...therefor the little guy was very tiny compared to the chicks that hatched. He was black with yellow and I do not have a picture of him. He had troubly hatching (he even bled a little) and so I left the lid on the incubater so he could rest. He needed to dry out and get his balance before we fed him to the wolfs (the older chicks!!!)Anyway, he was cute and the class got it on video tape. It is school property, but if I can can a copy of it I will post it because it's neat.
