Year 5 Happy Chicks

In year 5 over the next two weeks, we have the incredible opportunity to incubate and care for some very special visitors- chicks! Our adventure began when we received a set of eggs from the Happy Chick Company on Monday. The children were buzzing with excitement. At the beginning of the week, all year 5 children were eagerly checking the incubator, wondering when the eggs would hatch. It was worth the wait when on Wednesday, we witnessed the magical moment of a chick hatching. The children were so fascinated. Once hatched, the chicks were kept in the warm incubator for about 20 hours to dry off and fluff up. They have grown and have now been moved to their brooder box for some more space and some food and water. The children have really enjoyed this opportunity and have been fully engrossed by it. Next week, we will continue to observe and care for them.
