My Project

What happens after the chicks hatch from their eggs in the incubator? What will the baby chicks do now? How do they grow? This Brooder Coop will allow students see how they grow right before their eyes!

Having the opportunity to watch their newly hatched chicks grow and develop over time and see their progression in life would be amazing.

Furthermore to go a step further and see them grow into full size chickens would be so fascinating.

Giving students that live in the city the chance to see and experience what students in the country just consider their everyday life. This project with help bring farm country living to the city. This project will give city students an experience that they will never forget.

My goal is for them to always remember how we brought a little piece of farm life to the classroom.
