Chicks!

We received 10 eggs on Monday this week, plus an incubator and a brooder box. A live webcam was set up so that all classes could see the eggs hatch as it happened. The children have found this amazing and have been thoroughly absorbed by the hatching eggs and the growing chicks. Our first chick arrived on Wednesday morning, followed by 3 more by the end of the day. The last of the 10 eggs hatched on Thursday so by Friday morning, all 10 chicks were in the brooder box. The children have been in to visit the chicks and it has inspired some fantastic writing.
