Chillin' With Our Peeps

We have gotten to know the new fuzzy-faces in 4K...

Some of our chicks have dark spots on their heads and chipmunk stripes- that means they're hens.

Two have light spots on their heads and are golden in color: they're roosters. The black and grey chicks we will have to wait and see if they cock-a-doodle-doo or lay eggs to know what they are.

Bring on the chicks!

The kiddos were all so gentle and conscientious with our little chicks. 

A few ate right out of the children's hands, 

and made themselves comfortable!

The children have been so excited to help with the care of our "pets."

They notice when the food and water is getting low and have learned how to add more for them.

Our fuzzy friends are one week old, beginning to grow feathers, and getting big fast! Thursday will be their last day in our classroom. Please stop by to see them if you have not had an opportunity already!

Thank you for sharing in our excitement and learning during this hatching project! It has been a wonderful opportunity for the children to experience hands-on science and witness God's work from the egg to chick!
