This last Wednesday night we had a late night thunderstorm. This caused a power outage at our school from around 2:30am till about 7:10am. Our chick eggs are in an incubator and were without heat for an extended amount of time. It is important that our incubator stay at 99 to 101 degrees for the full 21 days of the chick life cycle. We will be receiving new chick eggs soon and will begin the process of documenting and observing again. We will update again when our eggs arrive!

Today is day 8.  My down feathers are beginning to form and I continue to gain weight.  I weigh a little over a full gram now!

Today is day 7 in my development. My beak is continuing to grow and I weigh a little over half a gram.  That means I am still very small.

Hi!  It's Eggbert!  Today is day 6 and guess what?  My beak and egg tooth are beginning to form. Remember...I will use my egg tooth to peck my way out of the egg when it's time to hatch .

Today is day 5 and I can finally tell you if I am a boy or a girl. And the answer is...

DRUM ROLL PLEASE

I am going to be a rooster when I grow up!

Today is day 4. I'm still hanging out and growing every day.

Today is day 3 of my development. My nose, legs and wings are beginning to form

Today is day 2 in my development and you can begin to see the red tubes forming that carry food and air to me inside the eggshell. My heart and my ears are beginning to form.

Hello!  My name is Eggbert the chick. My brothers and sisters and I just arrived at Lakeview Elementary.  I can't wait for you to go through our life cycle journey with us!!

  Today is day 1  and this is what I look like inside my eggshell. My head and eyes are beginning to form.
