This morning, we had our living eggs delivered in the main lounge. We have 10 eggs which are 2 days away from hatching and we will have them for 12 days. Once the chicks have hatched residents and visitors will be able to handle the chicks. This is a lovely experience where we get to watch the eggs hatch and the little chicks grow.
