Exciting poultry week!

Written by Grade 5/6 student, Saiche M. on Friday Feb 3, 2017

This week has been very exciting week. We had 12 eggs hatch, 8 buckeyes and 4 old english bantams. They are so cute currently and it was really neat to see them peep and then zipper out of their eggs. We have a live camera on the chicks and then also were able to watch them at home.  Some of our eggs did peep but did not survive. Sadly one of our chicks died yesterday as it looked like they did not fully absorb their yolk sack. The old english bantams were about the size of toonie when they hatched!
Today we turned off the incubator, hopefully next week we can look at some of the eggs that did not hatch!
