Did you know?

We candled the eggs again today.  The air sac is still visible.  Around day 19, the chick will poke a hole in the air sac and it will use the air inside.  We also discovered some facts about eggs and chickens today.  The 3rd graders and the kindergarteners worked together in groups to find facts.  Once the groups had their facts, each group choose one fact to write on our poster.  The facts are hard to read in the pictures, so they are written below too.  We hope you learn something about chickens from our list!
