Our delight in hatching our own chick ended sadly today. As our little friend had taken 3 days to emerge from his egg, he was too weak to even drink and sadly died this morning.. The children were very sorry for their 'baby chick', and showed great empathy when talking about this experience.
On a happier note, the 6 other chicks supplied by Meanwood Valley Urban Farm were very feisty indeed - trying to escape their box on a number of occasions.. and twice succeeding! We bid farewell to our feathered friends this evening, and I can't say I'm sorry!
