My favorite comment was, "Yes! Two thumbs up for success!" The students were so excited when they walked into the room Monday morning to find healthy chicks! If you have been following our work, you know that this is our third time incubating this year. The first two times were with another incubator. The third time, we wrote a grant for a Brinsea Advance 20. It worked beautifully as you can see! Out of the total 22 that were fertilized, 17 hatched. This is way more than a 50% hatch rate, so we are very pleased! They are growing so quickly and are very curious. We love watching them. We hope you do too!

After installing the fan, we realized that the water was evaporating way too quickly. We were not able to get to the school this weekend to replace the water. My guess is the temperature spiked. We are not expecting much of a hatch out of this batch either. This incubator is not of very good quality. After researching ones that have worked, I have written a DonorsChoose.org grant. Please consider donating to our classroom. If you do so, they will match each donation for the first week. If you donate $20, they will make it $40! What an incredible deal! You must enter the code INSPIRE. For tonight and tomorrow, your donation of $20 or more will earn gift cards for my classroom projects! This is like tripling your donation! Thanks for supporting my classroom. Remember, we have also been working with many other classrooms. This project will not only benefit my students, but MANY others as well (including years to come)!

http://www.donorschoose.org/lecroy will take you to my classroom page. Or, click here to go straight to our project! We just don't know what's g this morning the temperature was 108°F. We think it's because the water is evaporating too qiuickly. The thermometer also keeps falling. We are nervous about this weekend! |
