Our new chick eggs!

Here is our incubator.  It holds seven chick eggs!

We are so excited to learn about chicks!  We learned that the white eggs are called, "leghorn", the brown/tan ones are "Rhode Island Red", and the little one you can see between the white and 

brown ones in front, is called a "Banni" egg.  The temperature needs to be between 99.3-99.6 degrees.

Hopefully they will hatch in 20 days.  Incubation period is 21 days.  I put them in after the kids left yesterday.  There is an automatic turner, so the yellow platform they are on will turn every 60 min.
Welcome to our class little chicks!
