Happy Birthday Chicks!

The farmer from Quiver Farms delivered 12 eggs, taught us how to take care of them, and also brought Will and Grace, a hen and rooster, for a visit to our school. The students kept a careful watch over the eggs. We had a 10 beautiful chicks hatch! The children were so excited and immediately began caring for the baby chicks in their new environment, the brooder box. We gently petted them with one finger and said good-bye when the farmer picked them up to take them back to their farm.
