"Today March 20th, we cared for the six chicks, changed their bedding, also the water, just made sure that they were doing fine. Then there was 4 eggs that didn't hatch, we gave them an extra day or so to see if they was going to hatch. But sadly, the did not hatch so we did an autopsy on them to see if they were moving so then we used tools to cut them open. One didn't form that great, the rest just died as they was getting their wings and legs somehow, but we didn't find a way that they could have died except bacteria."

"Today in class we candled the four eggs that didn't hatch. We checked if they were still moving, or if they had died. As we candled them we saw that the chicks weren't moving and that their air bubble was big, so we decided that they were dead. We decided to autopsy the chick to see what could have happened to it or how far along they were when they died. Two of the chicks died early on in their development, they still had their yolk sac attached to them, and the other two died almost at the end of their development, they were full grown."
