=Welcome to the St.Edward ChickieWiki!!! =

This wiki keep you posted on our development in the incubator in the Library/Media Center.

Hi, boys and girls. My name is Avery and I am a little "dot" inside of one of the eggs in your school library! I like to hear your voices and the questions you ask the Chicken Lady. I will try to "talk" to you every day and let you know how I am doing inside the egg. Right now I am so small I am just using all of my energy to grow into a big chick! I know there are other eggs here with me. I hope we all hatch out because that would mean I'd have brothers and sisters. Well, I'm getting kinda of tired. See you later, Avery

May 7th 2009 Hi, girls and boys. WOW! Today my "tail" is getting longer and my skeletal system i s developing. I am safe and warm inside the egg and changing minute by minute! It is amazing how the same God who made you, made me too! Something to think about! See you later, Avery

May 8th 2009 The weekend is coming. My leg bones and reproductive organs are starting to form. So is my crop (where I store my food). Check out the diagram at [|Enchanted Learning]. Hooray for Friday!! Bye, Avery

May 9th 2009  Wow! So much is happening to me. My beak is becoming visible, my ribs are starting to show, my wings can bend at the elbow, my gizzard is starting to grow and my intestines are forming a loop. Whew! This growing sure is a lot of work!! It will all be worth it when I hatch.   If not,Enjoy the weekend! Avery

May 11 Hi, everybody, WOW!!! Something really strange happened this morning. The top came off the incubator and a hand picked all of us up very CAREFULLY and put us in a basket. Them we were taken to Miss. Sandland's room and we went into the closet! It was VERY dark in there. All of the sudden a bright light was shined on one side of our shells. We could hear ladies talking and asking each other if they saw anything. I was trying to say, "Hey, I'm in here and I can't wait until I can meet you!" They were "candeling" all of us eggs. That's when they try and see how many of the eggs are fertile and growing. I can't tell you what I heard because I know you are making guesses! We will keep growing and will be popping out sooner than you know it! I've got to get my rest now....Avery

May 12 Hi, boys and girls. Today I noticed that all of you are dressed funny - nothing matches! All of us little chicks think it's funny! We are getting as much rest as we can because we know we have to use all of our energy to GROW! We are about as big as half of your thumb today. See you later, Avery!

May 13 Hi, again. I see that you are dressed in special colors today - one color for every class. How cool! I hope you are checking in on us every day. I know you would love to see what is happening inside our shells. Since you can't see inside us, you can go to the "Want to learn more" page and visit some of the websites there. There are tons of information for you, even some videos of other eggs hatching. Check it out. Talk to you tomorrow. Avery

May 14 Well, it was kind of scary today. It looked like we were invaded by a bunch of alien creatures from outer space. These "creatures" had all kinds of strange things in their hair, not to mention the wild colors that they had. Can you believe that we are over the halfway mark to our birthday? Avery

May 15 Hooray!! It's Friday - and Fiesta as well. I keep hearing you all talking about the zipper. Is my zipper down? I don't have a zipper. Everyone keeps saying, "Is the zipper up?" What is this zipper thing?????? I hope you all have a wonderful time at Fiesta. Be safe and have fun. I will be here growing and growing all weekend. Avery

May 18 Hope you had a lot of fun at the Fiesta. We could hear the screams from the rides! Over the weekend my wishbone grew when my left and right collarbones fused together. My skull is getting harder, too. Also, my scales, claws and beak are hardening. Can you believe that this time next week we will have hatched and not be stuck in the shell any more? We can't wait to meet you. Avery

May 20 I have to tell all of you that it is getting pretty tight inside of this egg! I can't wait to start pecking my way out. I can't start too early or I won't be strong enough to live. I think I'll just be patient and wait until God is finished with me. I will see you all on Sunday, my birthday! I heard someone, I think it was a girl in Miss. Brown's class, say that she had the SAME birthday! See you soon, Avery

May 21 Only a few more days until I hatch! I am really getting egg-cited about hatching and getting to meet all of you. I hope that some of you come to see me hatch. If not, I will come visit the school next Tuesday. See you soon!!!! Avery

May 25 Thanks, boys and girls, those that came to check on our hatching. I know we didn't do much for you yesterday, but we are hoping something happens today. Say your prayers. Sometimes things work out and sometimes they don't. It was great to have you come and visit on your day off and wish us good luck. Talk to you tomorrow. Avery

May 27 Many of you have been asking about the eggs. Well, we are home with Mrs. Quinn awaiting our entrance to the world. It seems that we need a little more time than we expected. Keep saying your prayers that we have a successful hatching. Will keep you posted. Bye for now. Avery

June 1 Surprise!!! I have arrived. I finally pecked my way out of my shell last Thursday morning around 1:30. It sure was a lot of work but it was worth it. In fact, Blueberry has even adopted me. I am small and wasn't very strong at first, but I am growing stronger every day. Unfortunately, I am an only chick. None of the other eggs hatched. We don't know why but there are a lot of things in life that we will never know the answers to. It was just the way God wanted it. I am going to visit you tomorrow with Blueberry so I can say Hi! to all of you who were waiting so patiently for my arrival. I can't wait to meet you. See you tomorrow. Love, Avery
