Incubating eggs





We have a new member of our class. Her name is Fluffy. She is a Rhode Island Red chicken. We hatched her out in an incubator. It took 24 days, longer than the usual 21 days for hens' eggs. We had to roll the eggs over twice a day for the first 17 days and keep the temperature inside the incubator constant at 39 degrees celsius.
We named a second chicken that hatched out Duffy but she died. We buried her in Nature's Way.
