How wonderful to be able to see this, their first moments in the world 🙂
Wow,cutie chicks on cam 🙂
Yeah it’s Awesome!!!!!!!!!!!
Hello Year 3. I remember having the chicks outside my classroom when I used to be in Year 3 in the room which is now the art room. Those children really enjoyed seeing the chicks and finding out all about them and I am sure you will too. For example do you know which part of their beak they use to break out of their shell?
Wow! I wonder which egg will be the first to hatch?
One egg has hatch now!
Wow two of them have hatched, I would like to call one Fluffy
They are very fluffy , so that is a good adjective to describe them .
can’t count how many there are.
The girl chicks are soooo cute.
I really want one
The web cam’s frozen
You only get live video in school Alice – at home it uploads a snapshot every 30 seconds to the blog. If you wait, the picture changes. If it stops changing, just reload the page.
egg has hatched!!
Wow! When we left school the 1st chick was making a small hole in its shell, and only an hour later he’s out!! Very exciting!
Chick 2!!!
Well the eggs are obviously very happy in Year 3! I don’t think we have ever have two hatch or pip so quickly before. What do you notice about them Year 3? How do you think they will change over the next few days?
How exciting ! WhenI left there was one little chick that had just hatched and now there are two! He was chirping quite a lot
They are really cute and fluffy! And I am really excited to be holding the chicks, hopefully! They are turning yellow as I watch them! They are really nice.
Rose: The chicks are cute. The boys are yellow. The girls are browny-yellow.
Yes Ana holding the chicks is great although if I remember correctly you might have to wait a day or two until they are strong enough. Well worth the wait though as it is great to see them up close.
Well spotted Rose!
Hi Ana and Rose, thank you for showing us your chicks! We also think they are cute and fluffy. You are very lucky to have them to look after! Love from Leia and Esme xxx
Hurray! 2 chicks have hatched! They are cute

I could spend ages watching this. It’s lovely to see the chicks looking around.
I’m sure they are getting bigger as we watch.
Yes they are.
Wow!!! I am really jealous. I would love to have an incubator in my classroom. Where are the chicks going to live once they have grown up?

Woohoo 3FR are very lucky to have chicks
I think the chicks are really cute.Can’t wait to get to school to see them.
Goodness Year 3 look how much fun you’re having without me!
Hello Mrs Fisher ,
How lovely to hear from you . We all hope to see you very soon .
The eggs seem to have moved. Where do you think they have moved to? Why do you think they have been moved? What will the chicks need to grow healthily?
The eggs have moved because the chick inside has rolled around and the other chicks have pushed them. The chicks need water and food to grow healthily.
These wee little chicks are so adorable. I want to cuddle them.
It’s chick cam now!
Hello from Brisbane, Australia.
Nice to see the chicks hatching and standing on each other.
