Alcova's S.T.E.M. Specials is raising chickens! Gas South awarded Alcova a grant to start the chicken coop. At the start of the 2021-22 school year, we started getting ready for the chickens. We have 2 Easter Egger Chickens, 1 Olive Egger Chicken, and 1 Rhode Island Red Chicken. All students will be involved with the chicken coop through STEM Specials, but 2nd grade will be primarily responsible for the care of the chickens. One of the 2nd Grade Science AKS is to study the life cycle of organisms. The eggs that are produced from our coop will be donated to local organizations.

Our Rhode Island Red lays brown eggs and our Olive Egger lays the blue-green eggs. The Easter Egger Chickens have not started laying yet, but they will lay robins egg blue eggs.
