Solene's Notes:
Chick Project
March 21, 2003
Solene's class just recently did a month on development. To aide in the process they got to raise chickens from the egg stage. This was our weekend to take one home and babysit the chick. Okay, so the little things grow quickly, what was a cute little ball of fluff 2 weeks ago is now an adolescent chicken with attitude. Enclosed are Solenes observations in her own words. She loves her little chick "Christy"
Day Two,
Saturday: 6:16 AM
Chickens are very gentle and sticky and you dont want to drop them.
This morning the chick was sleeping. Thats all.
Saturday
7:36PM
He tickles, he runs around the floor. He pooped. He cries and
thinks we are his mama
Sunday
6:44 PM
The chick is pecking and chirping. He was out of food so we fed him.
This was our last evening with the chick. Tomorrow he has to go back
to school. I think our neighbors will thank us as he has been quite
noisy the past few nights.
_____________
There is no more chick, according to Solenes teacher the chicks all
went to the farm, and we all know what that means. Don't think we
will be eating chicken in this house for a while.
Day One,

The Chick Chirped, was eating and hopping around, and he was eating. He
tried to jump out of the box and we had to pet him and tape the papers to
the box. We call the chick Christy
