Our Chicks

Holding a 3 day old chick

Over the past month we've watched our chicks hatch and then grow VERY QUICKLY!

We've all enjoyed looking after the chicks, watching them develop.  

We've had some laughs, especially when the chicks started to fly and learnt to escape their box in the setting. 

The children giggled when our three girls went walk about around the playground, after they were put outside for some fresh air.

Week 2:  Our chicks were getting braver
 - so were the children

Imagine the children's surprise, the first time that the chick they held flew out of their hands and landed on a shoulder or head!

The chicks often perched on their box lip and watched us.  Sometimes, they hopped onto an offered shoulder...much to the children's delight.

The children soon learnt to handle the chicks carefully.  They were really gentle...but, they had to catch them first!

The last three chicks have now gone home to live with Dawn
