Room 10 have some amazing news to share! When the boys and girls arrived at school this morning, two tiny chicks had hatched. A boy and a girl, called Kaka and Dougal. We are able to identify the gender of the chicks because the boys have yellow feathers, and the girls have brown feathers. Everyone was over the moon and so excited!! Children from across the school came to visit our two new additions. Later on in the day, Room 10
boys and girls witnessed something incredible, as two more eggs hatched right in front of their eyes!! Another boy and girl, called Augustine and Pipper. Kaka and Dougal have now fluffed up and are enjoying living in their brooder box, Pipper and Augustine will join them tomorrow morning. The boys and girls have also began caring for our new arrivals by making sure they have plenty of water to drink. They do not need fed within the first day of being hatched, as they are using up all the nutrients and vitamins from the egg yolk. The whole school is absolutely delighted with the new arrivals, and we can’t wait to meet the rest of the chicks!!
