Emilie the Farmer came to kindergarten and brought eggs with
real growing chicks in them! She
also brought along the Momma Hen and Daddy Rooster chickens!
We learned that the rooster has 2 important jobs on the farm.
1. Wake up the
animals in the morning.
2. Protect his
family. For this, he has hackle feathers that rise to make him look
bigger. He also has spurs on his
feet for fighting.
We also learned that the hens have 3 important jobs.
1. Keep the
eggs warm.
2. Keep the
eggs wet.
3. Turn the
eggs so the chicks don’t stick to the shell.
The children have been eagerly watching the eggs this
week. As we come back on Monday,
it is likely that some of the chicks will have hatched! Stay tuned for some adorable pictures
of these fluffy friends with the children!!
