Big World Little Chick

By Aric H.

This year the kindergarten got to see the chicks hatch!! One of those kindergartners name was Drew.

Mr. Zupin gave the class the eggs to hatch. Drew was happy when he first saw the eggs. “The color of the eggs were white and kind of pinkish,” said Drew. The first thing you had to do with the baby chicks were to put x’s and o’s on the eggs. We put x’s and o’s on the eggs so we could turn them everyday. What is something you had to do with the eggs every day “We had to flip them,” said Drew. Drew said we had to flip them 3 times a day. The incubator is what holds the eggs inside and keeps them warm. Candling is where you put a flashlight under a egg and you can see the starting of the chick growing. Drew said you could see a black circle in the egg.
The baby chick grew in the egg by eating the yolk in the egg.

That's not all peep peep peep! It takes 21 days to hatch eggs. Drew felt happy when he saw the chicks hatch. There are coins in  the food so they know where its at. Baby chicks eat chick food. Drew like watching the eggs hatch. That was his favorite part.

Drew had a lot of fun hatching chicks. Drew hopes to watch them next year

Hatching!?

By Sara

Mr. K’s class hatches chicks every year. Peyton is a student in Mr. K’s class. This is Peyton’s second year hatching chicks.

It was a fun beginning! Mr. Zupin brought  the chick eggs for the class. Peyton said, “I felt excited when I saw the chick’s for the first time.” The eggs were white and brown. The first thing they had to do was put X’s and O’s on the eggs. They put X’s and O’s on the eggs so they knew when to turn them. They turned the eggs once a day. Peyton didn’t know what candling was. Candling is when you put something on a flashlight so they could look inside the eggs. Peyton saw a little black eye with the candling. The way Peyton explained that the chicks hatched, but they actually ate the yock to grow.

So far so good! It took 20 days for the eggs to hatch. Peyton felt excited and happy when the chicks hatched. Peyton said, “We put coins in the chicks food and water so they can find their food and water.” The chicks eat little balls of food. Peyton’s favorite thing to do when they have chicks is to look at them.

Peyton loves to hatch chicks. Hopefully Mr. K’s class will hatch chicks again next year.

Fluffy Chicks

This year Mr. K’s class hatched chickens. Mr. Zupin gave Taryn’s class the eggs.

Taryn was very excited about the eggs. When they hatch they will look better. The color of the eggs were white. ”First we put them in the incubator,” said Taryn. They put Xs and Os on each side of the eggs to make sure each side was warm. ”Something we had to do every day was turn them over. Two times a day. The incubator keeps them warm. Candling is when you take a light bulb and put the light bulb in a box then take a egg and put it in the box and see the shadow. “It was weird,’’ said Taryn. The baby chicks ate the inside of the egg.

Peep peep here comes the chicks. The eggs started to hatch in 21 days. Eggs usually hatch in 21 days. Taryn said, “I was excited when they hatched.’’ To get them to eat and drink they put coins in them. They ate baby chick food. Seeing the chicks hatch was very exciting. Taryn wants to do this again.

Taryn hopes the chicks live to be old. Taryn would love to do this every year.

21 Days of Waiting!

By Chloe 

This year Mrs. Bennett’s class interviewed Mr. K`s class. Libby is a student in Mr. K’s class. She got to take part in this really fun activity.

Mr. Zupin and Mr. Wisniski gave the class the eggs. Libby was very very happy when she first saw the egg’s. The eggs were brown, blue, and white. The first thing the class did was put X’s and O’s on the eggs.  Libby’s class put Xs and Os on the eggs so they know how many times a day they should flip the egg. The class filped the eggs two times a day.  “The incubator is what keeps the eggs warm just like the mommy’s would,” Libby said. Candling is when you get to see inside the egg. What you see when you candle is the baby chick forming. The baby chicks grow by eating the yoke.                                                      
“We had to wait 21 days for the baby chicks to hatch,” Libby said. Libby was very happy when the baby chicks hatched. The class puts coins in the food and water so the baby chicks could find the food and water. The baby chicks eat corn.  What Libby liked the most about the baby chicks was that she got to hold them.

Libby and her class had a lot of fun. Next year’s class will too.

Chicks Ahoy

by Blake

This year Mr.K’s class got to hatch eggs. Noah was one of them that got to see this amazing process.

He said that Mr. Zupin had brought the eggs in and when he did Noah was very excited. The color of the eggs were brown and white. The first thing they had to do was put X’s and O’s on the eggs to make sure they would get the same heat on each side. Every day they had to flip the eggs twice a day. Noah said, ”The incubator helps them stay warm and grow.” Candling is when you look in the egg and see if they are growing. He saw a yolk and chick! Chicks eat the yolk inside the egg to grow.

Oh look oh look there’s baby chicks! Finally the wait is over and they have some baby chicks. It takes 21 days to to hatch the eggs and he is very excited. Coins are put in the food and water to help them find it. They eat chicken food. Noah said, ”The best part about hatching eggs in the classroom is that I get to take one home!”

It was a very exciting process but all good things must come to an end. In the future, hopefully Mr. K’s class will have fun hatching eggs in the future.
