When we arrived in school this morning, we were delighted and surprised to discover that we now have…9 chicks.
We have 1 egg left to hatch which is moving around quite a lot and already has a small crack on it. Fingers crossed it hatches today!!

Moved to our new home!
The first 5 chicks have hatched and they have now been moved into the incubator. We are loving our new additions. All pupils in the nursery and school had a chance to go into today and their teachers will continue taking them for visits while we have the chicks here. There are still five eggs that haven’t hatched yet. We may be lucky and see some more chicks tomorrow.
Chickens are here!!
It may have been quiet day with no children at Tannochside Primary today but there was still a huge buzz of excitement as we waited for the arrival of our chicken eggs. They arrived and instead of the 4 eggs we were expecting we have 10!! It is expected that the eggs will hatch over the next 48 hours and Mr Flannigan has set up a camera to take photographs every 5 seconds so that we can capture them hatching. We will keep the chicks in school for a couple of weeks so that the children can look at the life cycle of a chicken and their inherited characteristics (just a few of our learning opportunities). Any parent who would be interested in keeping some chicks as their own once they have hatched please contact Mrs Fleck so that I can give you further information. Keep watching for photos!!
