Chicks

Have you ever seen a chick hatch?  We did!  We had an incubator filled with 30 eggs.  25 eggs hatched.  One chick got stuck in it's shell and Violet's mom had to help it.  Poor chick!  We got to hold the chicks!  It was an awesome experience!
A huge thank you to Mrs. Lockery for arranging the eggs and bringing in the incubator.
