Our Field Trip to Canandaigua Elementary School

Last week we took Sir-Cheeps-A-Lot and Nugget to Canandaigua Elementary School to visit with Mrs. O'Reilly's classroom! They asked us ALOT of really good questions and it was exciting for us to share our chick hatching journey with them. We can't wait to do it again next year!

Today is our Chick's last day in the classroom, we took a class picture so we could remember what a fun and exciting project this was!

Welcome Chicks # 3 and 4

We welcomed chick # 3, Nugget yesterday right after everyone went home! He was a little bit stuck to his shell so we helped him out, he is doing very well!!! Nugget was one of the names that almost everyone submitted, so congratulations to everyone that picked the name! This morning, we welcomed chick # 4, Oreo! He is our only yellow chick right now. Congratulations to Jared in room 19 on his name winning!!!!!!

WE HAVE A CHICK!!! Welcome Sir-Cheeps-A-Lot, congratulations to Classroom 25 for their name suggestion - their name had the most votes! We have more chicks coming, stay tuned for more pictures!

Day 21

Hello everyone - we just wanted to keep you in the loop! Today is day 21, it is the day our chicks are due to hatch. We haven't seen any breakthroughs yet but we hear them cheeping in there and the eggs are still moving - there is a good chance they will hatch overnight! We have a video camera set up so if they do, we will be able to post it on here after the fact so everyone can see them hatch! Stay tuned...
