Chickens
We have been incubating 7 chicken eggs from Barleylands Farm. They were due to hatch on the Tuesday 15th of May and sure enough, by the evening we had our first chick. The others closely followed and by Wednesday we had 6 healthy chicks. The 7th chick sadly didn’t make it out of its shell.
We we are so excited about our new chicks and the hatching. We took some time lapse video of the process so that everyone could see it happening. You can see these and some photos, below.
