The eggs have been incubating for 8 Days in our classroom incubator ('Momma Hen.') We will candle the eggs again this week. Hopefully we will see blood vessels in some of the lighter coloured eggs. This batch of eggs is really difficult to candle due to the fact that they are so colourful and some of the colours are very dark! Today we read the book 'Chickens Aren't the Only Ones' by Ruth Heller. Then we did a sorting activity where we sorted animals into two categories: ones that lay eggs (oviporous) and ones that do not. Here are some of the things that the children shared today about what they have learned so far:
"It takes 21 days for a chick to hatch." Arjenne
"Only hens lay eggs." Antonio
"The hen keeps the eggs warm.....or our classroom incubator." Dayna
"In order for a chick to grow inside an egg, a rooster needs to fertilize the egg." Evan
"A hen lays about 300 eggs per year." Omar
