Chicks

On May thirteenth  the eggs were put in the incubator. We got six eggs and everyone was so excited.We were so surprised on day one of how fast the chicks/embryo has grown. Like how on Day 1 the eyes and blood vessels had formed. Also,on day two the heart forms and begins to beat. On Day 3 the head and tail are distinguishable, it became visible on Day 6.

As the days went on we learned that the scales begin to appear on the legs and bones continues to harden. Also, the wishbone is formed. More development...almost ready on Day 18. On Day 21 two chicks hatched during F.L.E.S. They were so cute! Day 21:three more chicks hatched! They were even more adorable! 

On June 13th we said goodbye to our chicks. We are sad to see them go back to the farm. It's been an AMAZING experience!
