Thursday's Chick News...

On Wednesday, one of our eggs had a few problems hatching. However, he has survived and is looking very healthy. During the very early hours of Thursday morning, two new chicks hatched. Unfortunately there was nobody around to see it happen!

However, after a busy day in school today, class 6R were very lucky to see our fourth chick hatch. Hopefully some of the pupils who witnessed this could describe what happened.

The three older chicks are now in their 'broody cage' where they have food and water. The most recent chick is still in the incubator. At least 2 eggs are currently hatching. Hopefully they will hatch over the next few hours. Don't forget you can watch the chick and the eggs on our incubator cam!

Big news! One more egg has hatched. Another is on it's way. However, it has been a long time and he is very tired. Fingers crossed for the poor little chick!




Chick #4 (which was hatched this afternoon) is standing just in front of our new arrival.

What an evening! We're now up to 7 chicks, with 2 more eggs close to hatching. Two of tonight's chicks needed a lot of help - Mrs. Calderwood managed to peel off the shells very carefully.
