Beginning Chicken Project

4th and 5th graders are going to hatch chickens! They have begun researching the kind they would like to try to hatch. They will learn how to incubate eggs, check how the embryos are doing, and how to care for chicks. They will also hopefully see some career opportunities in the field of embryology. The goal is to sell the chicks in May and have funds to buy eggs next year to do this project again.

This is our first 4th grade class beginning their research. We'll let everyone know what chicks we are going to try to hatch when both 4th and 5th grade have chosen their chickens.
