"Egg"-citing News
We have some "egg"-citing news to share with you. You and your child can now view our chicken eggs live via the website link. Simply click on the camera to view the live feed. ➡️
Our first graders made predictions over a week ago about how many eggs will hatch out of the 19 eggs that we put in the incubators. As of today (Sunday, April 4), we are on day 12 of the 21-day cycle. We can't wait to see how many eggs hatch in less than two weeks!
Have fun and we'll keep you all posted on our chick-hatching project!
