🐣 Exciting things are hatching at the Preston Public Library! 🥚

Our incubator is up and running, and our chicken eggs are now on display for everyone to watch as they develop into baby chicks!

Stop by the library to follow this incredible journey from egg to chick. We've created a special learning station featuring information about the hatching process, fun facts about chick development, and a day-by-day visual display showing what's happening inside the egg as our future chicks grow.

Over the next 18 days, you'll be able to track their progress and learn how a tiny chick develops before making its big entrance into the world. If all goes as planned, we'll be welcoming our library chicks very soon!

Be sure to visit often—we'll be sharing regular updates, photos, and milestones on our social media pages as hatch day approaches.

Bring the kids, check on the eggs, and experience one of nature's most amazing transformations right here at the library!

🐥 Hatch Day is coming... stay tuned!
