More eggcelent entertainment


The latest egg related experiment we are doing at Kaikorai kindergarten involves three little egss BUT this time they will not be consumed under any circumstances! We have been lucky enough to aquire an incubator complete with eggs and eggerly await our little babies hatching.


The questions we have posed to the children are:


  • How does an egg develop from the time it is laid to the time it hatches?

  • What will the chicks look like when they first break out of the shell?

  • How long will the process take?

Come explore with us this fascinating life cycle of the embyological chick...
