Primary Campus Spring News

Congratulations to our Primary Campus students for another successful chick hatch! On April 21st a farmer from Quiver Farms came in to tell us all about hens, roosters, and how chicks are born.  She gave us an incubator filled with 12 eggs and told us how to care for them. After many days of waiting and watching our eggs in the incubator, 10 chicks hatched from their eggs. They were very wet and tired as we transferred them from the incubator to the brooder box. After they regained their energy and their feathers dried, we took turns petting and holding them. The children refilled water and food containers as our chicks grew bigger and stronger each day. Finally, the farmer returned to take them back to their farm family! Although it was sad to see them go, we were excited when the farmer congratulated us for a job well done and left us with a “Successful Hatch” ribbon for our school. This week we are awaiting a caterpillar delivery and will learn and see how they transform to butterflies!!
