Counting chickens…
This year we took possession of some eggs in the hope that some of them would hatch into chicks! This did not take long and we are now the proud possessor of several beautiful chicks.
There has been a competition to name the chicks and some winning names have already been announced. So, we welcome, among others, David Peckham, Omelette, Lindsay Lohen and McNugget.
At the moment the chicks are eating and growing in an incubator in the Science block, but it won’t be long before they are installed in our palatial hen house in the Orchard where they will hopefully enjoy many long years of happy scratching, pecking and perching.
