Class Chicks

Moriah

In Mr. K’s  class this year they hatched chicks. Hobi  is a kid in Mr. K’s class.        When Hobi first saw the eggs she thought they were pretty. Hobi says “ The eggs were white and brown” The first thing Hobi had to do with the eggs was turn them over from x to o. The reason they had to do that is so each side of the eggs got the same amount of heat. They had to change the eggs from x to o everyday three times a day. They would be ready to hatch after about 21 days.

After having the chicks in their class for 21 days they were ready to hatch. Hobi said she got to see some of the eggs hatch. Hobi also said that after the chicks hatched they looked tired from trying to get out of the egg. She said after they hatched they mostly just ate drank and slept.  She said her favorite part about raising the chicks were “They were cute”.

I think Mr. K’s class had a lot of fun raising the chicks. They thought it was a very good idea to raise chicks.

Chicken Eggs
By Bryce

This year Mr. K’s class Ian is in this class. Mr. K’s class is learning about chick eggs.

“Ian thought the baby chick eggs were cute the first time I saw them”. “Ian said the colors of the eggs were white and green”. They had to look at a light bulb everyday to look at the chick eggs. They had to put x and o on them so they could flip them over everyday. Candling is were you look through a tube and look at the baby chick eggs. There was a big black ball and it was moving around inside the chick egg. Ian said it took 21 days for most of the chick eggs to hatch.

We seen the eggs hatch and they were tired after they hatched. They did not move around after they hatched because they were tired from coming out of the egg and that took a lot of strength. The chick eggs were running around the next day after they hatched.

This was a fun Interview. The whole class liked it. This was the best interview ever.

Candling is when you shine a light on the egg so you can see a chick inside. Nicholas said, he saw a chick’s eye in the egg. Nicholas also said it takes 21 days to hatch a chick.

Nicholas was lucky. He got to see a chick hatch. He said the newborn chick was wet with no feathers. Nicholas also said the chicks just slept when they were born. Nicholas said the best part of raising chicks in Mr. K’s room was petting them.

21 Days With Eggs

 Every year Mr. K’s kindergarten class, they raise baby chicks. They raise them from eggs to chicks.

One of Mr. K’s kids, Madison, was very happy that they were raising baby chick eggs. Madison said,” The eggs were really weird.” She said that they were weird because some of the eggs were green and some were white. The first thing they had to do with eggs is that they had to draw X’s and O’s on each of the eggs. They also had to flip the eggs once a day. Madison said, “ Candling is when you put an egg under this light and then you can see the baby chick inside.” She saw a big dot inside, but some eggs didn’t have anything in them so they through them away. They through them away because the chick wasn’t growing inside the egg. 

Madison said that it would take twenty-one days for eggs to hatch. She only got to see one hatch and she said it was chirping when it got out of its shell. Then she said that after they got out of the shell that it seemed like they were lost and didn’t know where to go. She also said that she liked holding them the most about hatching the eggs. They were so cute and fluffy.

Madison thought it was really neat hatching the chicks. She said that she wanted the chicks to go to a good home.
