Our Eggs Will Be Hatching Soon
In a few days our eggs will be hatching, so we will need to get all the supplies we might need. We will have to get a waterer that we can put marbles in just above the water level so if the chicks fall in they will be sitting on the marbles instead of drowning. We will get a feeder that has holes in the side of it so the chicks can just stick their heads in and eat, we choose that type of feeder so that the chicks don't get in the feed and get dirt and possibly poop in their food. We also will get feed. We will have a heat lamp with a 100 Watt bulb we have to keep the chicks warm between 95 and 100 degrees. We will keep our chicks in a plastic bin with liter in it until the chicks have their feathers, the feathers take 5-8 weeks to fully grow in.

How exciting, how long does it normaly take for the chicks to break the shell and get out?
ReplyDeleteJonathon, a 5th grader from Mrs. Pearson's class wanted to let you know that he also has chickens. He currently has 3 chicks and 1 hen that lays eggs. He found your blog to be very interesting. Thanks for sharing!
