The Pullets are in their Coop

We thought this day would never come. Not because we wanted the chicks out of the classroom, but because eight weeks seemed so far away. But here is it! We miss their quiet clucking noises and the charming way that they interacted with the students. They have grown to a pre-laying hen, a pullet. We are proud to have helped with their growth. We hope to see eggs at the end of June. These Buff Orpingtons have been a wonderful hands-on farming learning experience for third graders. 
Excitement!

Not so sure...

We had never seen the pullets so quiet.

There is always one brave one. 

They seemed so small in their new home.

Thank you to the school administration for all of their help!

Thank you to Vandi, who has been taking care of the chicks/pullets on the weekends!
