We were so excited to receive our 10 eggs in Year 2. We watched them carefully as they sat in the incubator and then, on Wednesday, lots of pipping and hatching began. The children were lucky enough to actually see one of the chicks finally breaking through its shell and taking it’s first breaths in the outside world. When their feathers dried out the chicks were transferred to the booster box where they were kept warm with a special heat lamp and they began to eat proper food and drink water. We were shocked to discover that, even though 2 of the eggs didnt hatch, we could still count 9 chicks! This meant that two chicks had actually hatched from one egg! Twins! Amazing! All of this excitement and joy at look  ing after our chicks will help the children in their Science work to understand animal life cycles.
