We learned about what would happen and waited for the eggs to hatch ......
On Tuesday we heard cheeping from inside the eggs but none of them hatched.
On Wednesday we arrived in school to find a sleepy chick and another egg cracking. We were delighted to see it hatch during the afternoon!
On Thursday morning we found that 5 more had hatched in the night- so we missed the exciting moments!
We kept a diary each day to monitor the events and were very careful when we observed the chicks so as not to frighten them.
Sadly, 3 eggs did not hatch out, but the 7 chicks are doing very well.
Mrs Thomas took them home for the weekend and her family enjoyed caring for them and watching them grow- they were growing feathers by Sunday afternoon!
They will be collected by the farmer and returned to their farm.
