Hatching chicks

Carter's class had chicken eggs in a incubator to observe a for science learning experiment.  The school connected a web cam so that you could view them at home and other classes had them projected in their classrooms as well.   Technology is amazing!!  The eggs hatched at night so we took pictures of the little chicks coming out of their eggs off the school web cam website.

It is hard work for these little chicks to come out of their eggs.  Some of the chicks would get their eggs stuck to their back ends and walk around with their eggs still attached until they had enough energy to kick it off.  It was so fun and interesting to watch.

The baby chicks would come out wet looking and then would fluff up later.  Then they would walk around and bump the other eggs.  It was funny!

Then, we woke up early and saw that the other chicks were out of their eggs.  The kids were excited to get to school and hold the new baby chicks.  There was one egg left and the whole school got to watch it hatch in their classrooms.  I even recorded it at home just in case the kids didn't get to watch it, but it was old news by the time the kids got out of school.  What a neat experience for the school!
