Sad news! :(

Today was a sad day in grade two. Some of the children may have told you that our chicks did not develop. We candled them yesterday and found that the "black blob" had not grown at all. It was indeed a yolk and it turns out that our eggs were never fertilized. We decided to crack them open and find out what was in there and were disappointed to see that it was only yolk. Miss MacKinnon and I started searching frantically for a new place to get eggs, because we are getting short on time. My Dad came through for us and found us 8 new eggs to incubate! This morning we put our new eggs in the incubator and we are really hoping that these ones are fertilized! Our new hatch date for our chicks is June 21st. Keep your fingers crossed for our baby chicks!
