Morning, iy'all. It's going to be ridiculously hot this weekend, so I'll be working, reading, and staying inside as much as possible. If you don't know Robert Smalls, you need to. Dude was a hero when there were few. Google, check Mysteries at the Museum, hit the library - whatever you prefer. Learn some history. Matthew's Family, if we pick Charleston for the 2020 reunion, we need to spend time in Beaufort. #PennCenter #RobertSmalls history https://www.instagram.com/p/Bx19OozD6xf/?igshid=1weyj9143iie8

Our newest small flock. We ordered chicks for our farm presentation for Penn Center's Heritage Days Youth Day last Friday. We talked about the ways farms add poultry to their farm, hatcheries, incubators and hens laying. The chicks are a mixture of brown egg layers. They were a big hit at our demonstration thanks to Hoover Hatchery who got them to us just in time along with a few of our older chickens and ducks. Our display featured information about the combs of chickens, egg shell colors and development of chick embryo. Our identify a chick game went over nicely, it was our first time trying it. The students attempted to match pictures of baby chicks and description of adult chickens to the correct picture of adult chickens. The chicks were in a brooder with a Brinsea ecoglow warmer where they ran back and forth under the heater and out on a whim to the enjoyment of our students. Our Brinsea mini incubator was on display to explain our incubation works. Overall, we had a fantastic day with lots of interaction with students, teachers and parents with children. @amjones42 #babychicks #hatchery #PennCenter #PennCenterHeritageDay2018 #sthelenaislandsc #farmdemonstrations #poultrykeeper #poultrycare #chicks #babychicksofinstagram #friendlyfowl #brinsea #brinseaecoglow20 #incubator #brinseaincubator #brinseaminiadvance #farmsthatteach #teachingfarms #farmsofinstagram #farms #chicken #chickenphotography (at Saint Helena Island) https://www.instagram.com/p/BqROAWllVZc/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=76ovcz6sffv
