Cookie and Nugget

When the students came into class this morning, there were four chicks: two black/brown ones and two yellow/brown ones. We decided to only name one of the yellow/brown ones because they looked so alike we thought we might have difficulty telling them apart. The students voted on the name Chicken Nugget, or 'Nugget' for short. By the end of the day, we had six chickens and when I left, one more was hatching. Their bin is going to get very crowded!

The students got to hold one today. They said the feet tickled their hand and their feathers were soft.
