Reflection Number 2

Already?I thought as I came through the door."We have a chicken already"Said Lexi walking up to me."Can you believe it"?The day was Monday the 21st of August.You could feel the excitement rising in the air.Room 5 had been waiting for this specific day for Barry to hatch.When Barry had dried out we still hadn't put him in the brooder box.We hadn't because we were waiting for another chicken to be Barry's friend or he'd be lonely.The next day I came to school I couldn't believe my eyes!There was 7 more baby chickens!One of the chickens was mine.It had a strip of Yellow on it's head and it was Black.Sadly my chicken has a bad leg so we might kill it.

Dairy Entry



I was talking to Mr Dillon on a cold interesting morning when Mrs Hancock came in and told Mr Dillon he needed to go and get something.I felt perplexed.



A few minutes later Mr Dillon came back with a big cardboard box that said "Fragile".When the bell rang Mr Dillon brought the box down to the mat.When all the kids were in he opened the lid and all we saw was paper.Mr Dillon started taking out all the paper and at the bottom there were 4 egg cartons with 6 eggs in each.The next day.Mr Dillon said that we were going to put the eggs in the .Incubator.We needed to date them first,so we dated them with blue vivid and normal pencil.When we put them in the Incubator 3 of them were to big so they broke.They weren't cracked open fully,so once we had put then all in the Incubator Mr Dillon got a grey container and cracked the eggs open.We could see a little white dot on one of them.4 boys missed out on dating the eggs because they didn't really want to do the dating.We had one blue egg as well.




Something I am looking forward to is looking after the little chickies. I  am thinking on naming my chicken Rosa.If it is a black one because they are shiny and friendly.I am worried that some of the chickens won't hatch.It's really exciting to be looking after some chickens.
