Learning All About Chickens with the Kids!

{this post contains affiliate links, thank you for supporting this blog!}

Since we were getting new chicks as a family, I wanted to incorporate this into our schooling…and we did! And it’s been great!! Here are tons of ideas & books & resources we have used!

We started off with the free lapbook from Homeschool Share, as well as this post on learning about Eggs from Wende at the HSS blog…and the unit just took off from there!

The Enormous Egg (fabulous chapter book read aloud!!)
Chicks & Chickens (one of the main books we used for our info in lapbook)
Chickens Aren’t the Only Ones  (great science book that shows all the animals that lay eggs!)
Where Do Chicks Come From?
Chicken Sunday
Rechenka’s Eggs (Paperstar)
