Grandad Chicken came to visit us again this year.

I left us the incubator and some eggs. He also left a heat lamp for out pen.

He told us that the chicks will stay in the eggs for 21 days before hatching and they must be kept warm. Just like a mother hen sitting on them.

We were very excited to see what came out of the eggs.

 

 

After the weekend we came back to a huge surprise.

8 chicks had hatched.

We couldn’t wait to snuggle them

 

 

 

We learnt about the chicken life cycle.

We also talked about how chicken and eggs are used for food.

We loved learning about the chicks.
