This week the chicks arrived and so far we have 7 beautiful chicks. It has been amazing watching them hatch.

It’s almost time to say goodbye to our chicks as they will be collected to be taken to a local farm tomorrow. We have had lots of fun taking care of the chicks and watching them grow and we are all sad to see them go. Hopefully they will come back to visit us soon.

Today we had to clean out the brooder box just like Miss McDonald showed us. We also wrote some fantastic chick descriptions which will be posted here soon.

Here are some songs and poems we have been learning to share at our assembly.

Today we continued to care for our ten beautiful chicks. We cleaned out the brooder box to give them a clean home and we made sure that they had plenty of food and water. We also had another chance to hold them and we were surprised to see how calm they are in our hands now. We then had a busy afternoon creating our own model chicks using balloons.

Miss McDonald brought he chicks back today and we couldn’t believe the difference in them. They are getting really big and growing their adult feathers. Today was very exciting because we got to hold the chicks for the first time. Here are some pictures of us.

Not long now until the chicks return to school and the children can see how much they have grown.

The chicks have been very well behaved since moving house and seemed to have settled in already. They slept well last night and could hardly wait for their breakfast. We can already see some changes in them with their adult feathers beginning to show.
