Chicks hatching brings excitement
Chickens began hatching in the seventh grade science classes. Students enjoyed their time with the chicks.
February 14, 2022
Over a twenty-one day period, seventh grade science classes incubated and took care of chicken eggs, and the chicks that hatched from them.
Seventh grader Rhett Dizura helped with the naming of the chicks after they hatched.
“I have only named two so far, Duck and Burnt Marshmallow,” Dziura said.
Many wished to make the most out of their short time with the chicks, before they were sent to farms to live out the rest of their lives, as agreed with the farmers who gave the eggs.
“On Thursday, we took the chicks out into the hall and had them play chicken football!” Dziura said.
Hatching and caring for chicks does have an educational purpose, as students learned about the development of cells into larger organisms.
“I think they [students] really enjoyed it,” Pathfinder science teacher Tia Saxon said. “They got to see a real life example of what we were learning in class.”

My science class took care of chicken eggs too! I missed the day the rest of the class played with them in the hallway though.

I like the chicks, too, Denovan. You’re right they were soft.

I was in Mr. Cunninghams class when some of the chicks hatched. It was an awesome experience to be able to see and interact with the chicks.

Last year when I was in science I was exited about the chicks hatching

I am apart of the pathfinders team and Mrs. Saxon never took Any of the chicks outside into the hall to play football, So what team exactly took the chicks in the hallway?

This experience was really fun! i’m actually in Ms Saxons advisory, so we all got to see as the eggs hatched.

How long did it take for the chicks to hatch, and what did you do to help them hatch?
