Ducks and Chickens

(Source: www.thehappychickencoop.com)

Ducks love to be in the water. They love to splash, throw water around, and
make a muddy mess. Chickens, on the other hand, choose to stay dry. Unlike
ducks, chickens do not have waterproof feathers that keep them dry and warm.
So, if a chicken gets wet, it can become sick. Ducks have oil glands. This oil
keeps their feathers waterproof.
Ducks lay beautiful, large eggs all year, and tend to be friendlier than
chickens. Both duck and chicken did share the same nest to lay their eggs in and
both decided to sit on each other’s eggs, so funny to watch!

practicing new sources like social media, smart phone applications and newspapers. These texts are
skills #1 informative because they feed us with information which we do not know yet. One of the
most popular types of writing is known as informational text.

the reader about a specific topic. These are typically found in magazines,
newspapers, science books, autobiographies, and instruction manuals. They use
special texts that allow their users to easily find key information and understand
the main topic.

Fishes are animals that can breathe under water because they use gills to
breathe instead of lungs. They use their fins for movement. Fishes have scales on
their skin instead of fur or hair. All fishes are cold-blooded animals, meaning they
get their body temperature from the surrounding water. When they have babies,
they lay many eggs at one time.

presence of virus and bacteria on the premises around us and the things that
we are handling. Better be safe than sorry. We only had one life and we need to love
and treasure it.
