Kindergarten have had the opportunity to watch Chickens and Ducks hatch. They came to us first as 8 chicken eggs and 4 duck eggs in an incubator. By the end of the first day a chicken hatched. This has been very exciting and very interesting to watch.
We have learnt that a Chicken takes 21 days to hatch and a Duck can take up to 32 days. We have been able to get up close to them and hold them. They do wriggle a lot. It has been a wonderful learning opportunity for teachers and students.
