The Miracle of New Life!

Today we were able to watch a miracle right before our very eyes! One of our chicks hatched and we were there to watch. So far we have had 3 chicks hatch and they have all been yellow so we had a big surprise when we saw that our new chick had black downy feathers. 
Tom was the first Prep to discover that black chicks come out of white eggs and yellow chicks come out of brown eggs. 


We realised that the chick uses a lot of energy to break out of the shell and needs to have a big rest when it finally arrives.


We were so excited to watch the chick hatch - most of us had never seen this before.


Have you ever watched a chick hatch? 
Take a look at our video.

    Hi Prep K,

    We had chickens at our kinder. Sometimes we let them out. One of the chickens pooped on the floor.

    What do you do with your chickens? Do you let them outside?

    Hi Luella and Luca

    We will only have our chickens for two weeks. We don't let them out because they might escape and they are too little.

    Thanks for your question.

    From your friends Prep K

    Hi Prep K, How wonderful watching one of your little chicks hatch. It must have been so exciting for you all to see. I bet that little chick was tired after pushing his way out. Susan B

    I should be going to sleep because it's very late. But instead, I couldn't stop watching the chicken hatch! I loved the little excited whispers I heard in the background. New life is an amazing thing, isn't it?
