Awesome job !
One thing my teachers that use my stuff do is have pictures of my ducks
The kids like to guess who the mom and dad are

This is awesome you are giving the children the gift of seeing a chicken come to life. Where do the chickens go when they are hatched?

I could always take them, but I have a college student working with my class and her family has a farm, so she offered to take them!

Totally forgot to post pics last week. Today is day 14, we candles, weighed, calculated weight loss %, and are now waiting impatiently! Tomorrow the kids will pick a breed to research and look up facts about eggs laid per year, hen & rooster height & weight, features, colors, comb/feathering, and weather hardiness!

Here is a pic of the eggs and the scale & candler!





Super excited we still have 12 eggs going. Will be amazing if they all hatch!

Also, chickens are not allowed in the city I teach in, so I am thinking we can practice some persuasive letters/essays and send them to the city council. A LOT of the kids want chickens now…lol.

Have them research ordnances for nearby urban areas, too. Not only will it help with their persuasive letters, but it can easily tie into a "government" unit. Either way, it's something they should know how to do as a a potential renter/homeowner someday. Those sorts of life lessons are sadly lacking in today's curriculum. Kudos to you for adding them in for your project!

Some cities make exceptions for FFA and 4H kids projects....

Ours did, and by the time my crew aged out, we'd changed the rules - a win/win for everyone!
