CHICKS
Last Monday we got a delivery of eggs from Living Eggs. We put them in an incubator to keep them warm. We watched them very closely and on Wednesday saw that some of the eggs had began to crack! We read a book about chicks that told us how they use their egg tooth on their beak to help them get out of the shell. About 10am on Wednesday we welcomed our first chick... a beautiful girl chick. The other chicks quickly followed and we had 8 chicks on Thursday afternoon... 5 boys (yellow) and 3 girls (brown). We moved the chicks to the brooder box once they had fluffed up and gave them water to drink and chick food to eat. We held and stroked the chicks. They were very soft and fluffy. We have got the chicks until Easter and then we will have to say goodbye. We have had a lovely time with the chicks!
