Chicken Visit!

Thanks to Jennifer for bringing her chickens in to visit the students at Science!  It was a great learning experience, and it's a great connection to learning about the lifecycle of a chicken.  Hopefully the students will be able to observe fertilized eggs and see them hatch at some point during the school year...
