Well it seems that even chickens come before their due date!! Room 4 has two chickens already and they weren't due until Friday so the excitement level is very high today. We have set up the time lapse camera so hopefully we'll catch a chicken in the act of hatching - although one of the chickens managed to hatch with all in the classroom and nobody noticing a thing until it was fully hatched!!!
We have a wee black chicken and a yellow one at the moment and another egg has quite a decent chip in it. The hatched chicks are very noisy and are beginning to wander about inside the incubator. Tomorrow afternoon we'll move the two chicks to the brooder box but they need to be fully dry before we do that and we need to get the heat lamp set up over the box. So it's all go from now on!!!!
