Cole brought in worms for the chicks to eat.
At first they were concerned about their new environment and stayed fairly still. |
We continue to journal about the chicks' growth. You can read individual blogs below. We would enjoy reading your comments.
We are in the process of discussing the data we collected from interviewing people at home. So far we learned that we are not familiar with many of the diseases that we gathered. Some of the diseases are: tuberculoses, mumps, measles, and chicken pox. Thanks to the immunizations we receive as children, these disease are much less common than they were a generation ago. We also determined that we stay indoors more than children did a generation ago. One generation back has an average of one hour of television watching per day, and two generations back watched no television at all. These last two facts are worth considering as we look at the next part of understanding nutrition: portions (the amount of food we eat at one time), and energy output (exercise).

| Soon they began pecking at the dirt and worms. Look at the additional wing and tail feathers! |

| You can see their growth in size in this photo. |

| The wading pool is being used as the base for their brooder, so we just put down the sheet. It was very exciting because they are flying more easily and flew to the edge several times. |
