Children in Foundation have had an exciting day looking,and holding, our newly hatched chicks today. So far we have got four chicks that are strong and healthy and now living in the brooder box. We have one more,very weak and tired chick, that needed a little help getting out of its egg shell. This will stay in the incubator till tomorrow. Two eggs have yet to hatch…watch this space for an update on them!
Children have been enjoying holding the chicks and have talked about their similarities and differences in colour, size, etc. We have already had some great questions from the children including “What do they eat?”, ” How big will they get?” and “Can they fly?”.
