Dear Mead Room families and friends,
On Monday afternoon the ‘Living Eggs’
people arrived with a clutch of eggs ready for hatching. We set them up in the
incubator in the Mead Room and waited…
Iverson – eggs inside
Quinn – When they warm up a bit, they’ll
hatch
Charlie – eggs!
Charlotte – They’ll crack and the chicks will
come.
Jack – 10 eggs
Imagine our surprise on Tuesday when we
noticed little holes in some of the eggs;
Leonardo – They are trying to get out of the egg
Harry – peck!
By Tuesday afternoon we noticed a little
chick! It was still a little bit wet, it
had only just hatched from the egg!
Ginger – They’re so adorable
Isla
B – They hatcheded out!
When we had a few chickens hatched we
moved them from the incubator to the ‘Brooder’ - where they will and grow and
change while they are in the ELC.
Over the course of the next few days we
have been excited to observe the changes taking place, more and more eggs
hatched until we had 10 little chickens in the ELC.
Cody – They’ve hatched, 10 eggs!
Elsie – They’re sleeping…
Anwen – The chickens are colour yellow
Max – The yellow ones are boys and those
ones (brown chicks) are girls.
Harry – If they eat food they will grow,
grow, grow!
Take care of each other,
Melissa and Georgia
