Hatch 4 Schools

7th Feb 2017

 

There was great excitement in school with the arrival of the eggs! The Hatch 4 Schools Programme offers children and adults an opportunity to interact, care for and learn about chickens and their life cycle, from incubation, hatching and finally growth. The school programme lasts for 2 weeks.  A company supply and deliver fertilized eggs in an incubator, which are just two days off hatching. They also supply a brooder box, heat pad and food so the boys can watch the chicks develop to the next stage. It is so easy and incredibly rewarding. The boys are eagerly awaiting the arrival of the new schicks!
