Mrs. Jensen's science classes have been studying chicken embryology. The Purdue Extension team even brought a variety of chicken breeds for a visit! Next week we will have a team of student experts ready to answer any of your questions about chickens, their life cycles, the hatching process, etc. Post your comment below before Wednesday May 13th at noon to get your questions answered by a student in Mrs. Jensen's class. We look forward to your questions! #bonairchicks

It is so interesting to see the chicks begin to crack the eggs and make their way out into the world. What did you learn, 4th grade?

Do different colored eggs produce different colored chicks?
Speaking of colors, do hens always lay the same color of eggs?

Dear 4th Graders,
I think hatching eggs in class so interesting!! What a great experience for all of you. I am wondering if you had to spend extra time caring for the chicks outside of class time. I look forward to seeing you next year in class...bring all of your learning with you!
Sincerely,
Miss Oldaker
I like the chicks you guys have, there cute. Last year I was in Mrs.Jensen's class, I thought it was fun taking care of them, it was a lot of fun. How much work does it take for you to care for them? Is is difficult? Do you like having chicks?
What is the difference between a hen and a rooster?How often do chickens lay eggs? For how many years will a hen lay eggs? How long do chickens live?

Dear Fourth Graders,
I really think that hatching baby chick sis VERY interesting. I still remember when we did that in my fourth grade. Did you know that female chicks are called pullets until they are 1 year old. At age 6 months, they begin to lay their own eggs. What things to you guys know about baby chicks.
Dear 4th Graders,
last year I was in Mrs. Jensen class it was a lot of fun. And I think it is cool that she is doing it this year. Are the baby chicks ok and keep doing good.
Love Makiah,
Dear Fourth Grade
I love chicks.
I am amazed with the chicks so cute.
Did you know chickens are born with the amount of eggs they will lay.
How old are they when they leave and how fun are they when they move and play?

Dear Hope, The chickens go to a farm and live until they go to a store.

Dear Mrs. Concus
it depends on the color of the ear lobe. Say if the color of the ear lobe is red then it will produce a brown egg.
thanks, caleigh

I learned that the chick eats the yolk. A hen does not lay different colored eggs.
They have a egg tooth that breaks the shell. They can live with out there mom because they are born to know how to take care of themselves. It is not hard to take care of them and were not naming them. Destiny Bradley
Dear Mrs.Anthony it takes 21 days for a egg to hatch but kind of it takes 22 days for a egg to fully hatch.
By
Adam
Chicks have to have a incubator because they cant be cold and they have to feel like the mom is laying on them.
-Hilaria
It wasn't very hard to take care of the baby chicks and we don't get to name them because they have to leave soon.
