Hatching Day!

For school each spring hatch some chicks. This year it's Pheasant chicks. Come on over if you are close, and you can watch some hatch. So far we have 19 and counting, there's at least 20 more eggs that will hatch today or tomorrow.

Bug has been studying Thomas Edison and one of the lessons is about hatching, so it was perfect timing. Doodle is reading Just Plain Fancy by Patricia Polocao- one of our favorite authors. In his story some Amish girls find an egg and put it under their chicken- it ends up being a Peacock egg, and they are worried he is too "fancy" to be Amish. A cute story!



Roo LOVES his "chickies" and likes to watch him hatch.

WOW! That is awesome. Is an incubator very expensive?

I really like Patricia Polacco too!
