  "We would like to share some exciting news". 

   

  For the last 20 days one of our hens (Ruby who we have had since she was 5 days old) has been sitting on 5 eggs. Some of the pre school children joined me last week to do what is called candling of the eggs which is looking through the egg with a torch in the dark to see if anything is growing inside. We could see that 2 of the eggs had chicks inside which was very exciting for the children and staff. 2 of the other eggs are less developed.

  
  Today we have noticed that one of the eggs has a tiny crack which means hopefully by tomorrow we will have a new baby chick.

  This for us shows how happy our pets are in their new housing that they are reproducing in a lovely natural way. Some of the children have been excited about the whole process and it has been lovely to be able to the children this experience as not many children get this sort of experience within their nursery. It's all thanks to our parents who helped and contributed to the fund raising to build a large safe and warm house for our pets.
