Day 4

The time had come!
Wow! What an experience!
Hi Pal!x
Early Thursday Morning
Number 10 Begins To Hatch
Waiting for a baby to be born can be tiring!
Do you need a hand? ...sorry beak!
Teamwork
At this point we were mesmerised by what was happening.

Fantastic news! When we arrived this morning we were greeted by chick number 9….and even more exciting by the sight of the last egg pipping! We were enthralled by the amazing sight of chick 9 helping to pip the egg from the outside. The two chicks were communicating with each other through the shell. When chick 9 was exhausted it lay for a wee rest on top of its hatching pal. It was incredible to watch!

Finally at 10.44 their hard work was rewarded when our final chick was pulled out of its shell by its wee pal. It was a great lesson on the power of friendship for us all!

  1. Your chicks are so cute! It’s great to see their progress on the blog and the excitement on the pupils faces. Primary 1 are available for ‘chickysitting’ duties. Thanks for allowing us to come up and see your babies.
