HH Blog Post Update May 1st, 2012
Mrs. Laura, here is my blog,
For a while, the chicks have been growing huge wing feathers, so they have been trying jump out of and onto everything. The last time we got them out, we first had to put them in the shoe box we put the lid on but one of them pushed off the lid and jumped out of the shoe box! We picked her up and put her on the towel and did the same with the others.
They have also been growing tail feathers and combs! That’s all I have to type bye!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
K & M K Chick Upday on May 1st
We are writing to update you on our chicks. We are having so much fun with them! We can't believe how big they are getting. They are growing more feathers and they are definitely trying to fly around everywhere.
Sometimes when we open the cage to take them out we are afraid they will try to jump out or fly out before we can get them out, it's kind of funny. We just have to be quicker than They are!
Another thing we have noticed is that their cage gets really stinky! We clean it every morning before school and every night before bed. They are also drinking a lot of water so we have to check their water a lot of times each day.
Well, so far so good!

Lemon is the craziest, Fuzz is the calmest, and Popcorn just runs around. They are all doing great!

Foster Chick Parent Program 2012 Begins!
On April 15th at 3:30 pm 12 students will be trained how to take care of baby chicks for their first two weeks of life.
Registration will begin online at 8 AM on March 20th, 2012. Last year the class was full in the first two minutes. Students cannot register if they have done the program before. (Hint) Phone registrations are too slow.
This has been a very special program for animal loving families. The program has evolved since the first session originated in the Spring of 2000. Veteran students help mentor and train new students by sharing their experiences at this training session. At the end of the two week experience the families gather to share what they have learned about the chicks and about their connection with them through a poster party. Each child will receive three chicks, a special brood box, light, food, water container, thermometer and litter that will house the chicks. They will have a list of things to do and have support if issue or questions occur.
If you are not able to be a part of the Chick Care Program this year there will be many other activities online and at the Library that will be interesting and inviting.
Stay Tuned!
