Fantastic We wish them all the best of luck with this great project.

We have a web cam at our school (just for us, not on the net!) and have a mum and chicks. Also have duck eggs in an incubator. Had a visit today from 5 ducklings born yesterday - they came to us for thier first bath, ahhhh.
The children (and us adults!) had a great time. Another started hatching this afternoon, so should have duckling number 6 by tomorrow. Poor TA had to call into school this evening around 9pm to ensure duckling 6 was ok!

There is lots more information on the site about this project.


Toni that sounds lovely ~ my youngest had a visit at school from a brood of chicks and still hasn't stopped talking about them .. and that was 2 weeks ago :muted: lol.. goes to show how much of an impact they can make
