The Chicks Are Here!
We are very egg-cited to announce that the chicks have returned! We have 18 eggs -- Leghorn chicken eggs & a few others! -- in an incubator & we are patiently waiting to see when they will hatch (the estimated length of time they will spend in the incubator is 21 days). We are planning a bunch of activities, such as crafts, a family movie, & contests, to celebrate! To see the eggs, stop by the library to view them in our brand new clear incubator, or you can view them from home on our live feed (coming soon!).
