First Chicks Hatched -

Wed 22 Apr 2015

Some of the children from Breakfast Club had a very exciting start to the day watching as one of our chicks emerged from its egg. We were all astonished by how quickly it managed to break free and plonk onto the floor of the incubator. It already has a little friend who hatched overnight. Both are doing really well.
