Chick update

24th May 2022

Current chick count : 3

Another chick has hatched before leaving school today. I wonder how many there will be in the morning?

Newly hatched chicks should stay in the incubator for at least 24 hours to dry out and rest after their hard work of breaking out of their shells. The yolk of the egg, which they absorb just before hatching, nourishes them for up to 72 hours.
