Chicks hatching in the lounge and laundry

Was at a friend’s house today and there in her lounge/dining room was an incubator with chicks hatching in it. Peering throught the perspex front was three little wide-eyed boys, all about to turn 4 years old. It was lovely to watch and listen to them. Great entertainment! I was also relieved to see that I am not the only person who hatches chickens in the house!

The laundry had an incubator as well. My friend candled an egg (held a torch to the egg so that you can see the embryo inside). The boys in were awe of being able to see a chick moving inside its egg. Great stuff! Reminded me of why we run U Can Hatch Us – so all children and adults can see this.
