A visit from the Room 17 Chicks

On Friday, some of the girls from Room 17 brought their newly hatched chicks over for us to meet. They had 12 eggs in the incubator and 12 chicks hatched. We are going to get a visit from them again in a week or so , so we can see how much they have grown. They don't have a Mother so the Room 17 children have them in a special box with a heated light to  keep them warm.

Summer told us the chicks eat mash and drink water. When they get older they can eat seeds and scratch around in the ground for yummy things like worms. Thank you for sharing Room 17.
