Here a chick, there a chick, everywhere a chick chick…
Incubating chickens in the classroom is a great science activity and easier than you might think. A lot of science curriculums include incubating eggs as an optional activity. Are you ready?
Step 1
Determine who will take the chicks after they hatch. Since it is impossible to know how many will hatch it is good to find several interested parties and establish a procedure who gets to pick first.
Step 2
Order an incubator, heating lamp, and chick starter from Amazon.
Step 3
Get fertilized eggs.
Step 4
On a Tuesday morning start incubating the eggs. Make sure to follow the instructions included in the incubator.
Step 5
21 days later enjoy watching your chicks hatch!
