Living Eggs Update

Living Eggs Update

Our living eggs are hatching fast. This morning we have already seen 4 chicks break free from their shells to tweet around the incubator!  The children will all get the opportunity to watch and observe them in their classrooms for the 10 days that we are lucky enough to looking after them.

The embryo eggs were provided, 2-3 days from hatching in incubators which are specially designed for classroom hatching. An electronic thermostat ensures accurate temperature control for a high hatch rate. The viewing window allow the children to see all stages of hatching. The chicks will collected after 10 days and re homed to free range farms across the country.
