Today We Said Goodbye...

Today was the last day we had our chicks in the classroom.  This afternoon I brought the chicks to Parky's Farm, where hopefully they will have a nice, happy life.  I was originally planning to keep the chicks a little longer, but we are getting so close to the end of the school year and things are just getting a little too busy.  Of course it didn't help that we were set back by 2 weeks with this project when we had to start over with a new set of eggs.  

So we only had our chicks for about a week, but it was amazing how attached I felt to them!  It was a little hard to give them up today.  I took lots of pictures and some videos of them over the last 2 days.  Unfortunately, the last 2 out of our 7 that hatched died this week.

Here are some more pictures:

I'm really going to miss these guys.  This was a great project, hopefully I'll be able to do it again next year.  I'm also hoping that we might get to see these chicks when we go to Parky's Farm for a field trip in June.
