Chick hatching project begins!

Today Miss Webb and Mrs Jackson went to a farm in Leeds to pick up the chicken eggs ready for this term's hatching project. We collected 20 eggs from Meanwood Valley Urban Farm and brought them back to Bradford to start the incubation process.













These chickens laid the eggs.












This is Mrs Jackson with the cockerel.


















We put all 20 eggs into the incubator. They will stay here for 21 days until they start hatching.









I wonder if the Reception and Nursery children will enjoy our chick hatching project. Keep reading our blog over the next 4 weeks to find out!

  5. It is very eggs-citing to hear that you'll be hatching chicks! Is there any news yet? How long do you think it will take?
