hey chick

Right before school lets out each year, my mom's classroom does a lesson on chickens. She gets eggs from a local farm and her students anxiously await the hatching of the little chicks!!! I took Levi over to see if any of the chicks had hatched.

Here's the incubator and all 13 of the eggs
Excuse this picture - Levi took it!! Yes, this is the first baby chick that hatched. He really does have a head even though you can't see it! :) Tomorrow, the students will start naming the chicks.

Another chick ready to come out. See the beak poking thru? Also, each egg has an "X" on one side and a "O" on the other side. The kids have to take turns rotating them to X and O throughout the day.

This little chickie is ALMOST out! We thought for sure it would come out while we were visiting today, but no such luck!
