There are egg-citing times ahead at Heatherwood. On Monday, 16th March five eggs were delivered to Heatherwood and kept warm in an incubator. The providers, Incredible Eggs, advised us that the eggs should hatch by Wednesday. 

However, we had an early arrival on Tuesday morning as one of the eggs hatched. The duckling was named Count Duckula. He can be recognised by his black back, black legs and black beak. By the end of the school day, a second duckling emerged from its shell. This one can be recognised by his dark back, black patch on top of its head, pink legs and pink beak.
