Here in F2 we have some lovely new visitors staying with us over the next couple of weeks! Meet… THE CHICKS! 

We were very lucky to see seven of our Chicken eggs hatch from our incubator and have had such a great time watching them grow over the last few days and start to gain their adult feathers! We have loved taking care of our chicks, and now they’re getting a bit bigger they are definitely eating and pooing a lot more!!!!

We have been changing their bedding, making sure they have plenty of food and water and giving them lots of cuddles! We have talked and discussed about what these baby chicks need to grow bigger and stronger and what will start to happen as they grow into hens or cockerels. We have also learnt lots of interesting facts about our chickens and how intelligent they really are! Did you know they blink the opposite way to us to protect their eyes from dust and sand coming up?

We are hoping to see them get a lot bigger in the next few weeks before Grandad Chicken returns to collect them and take them back to their farm!
