Chicks create a buzz in school
Carlton J&I School on Upper Road, Batley Carr, won funding from TD Direct Investing to hire an incubator so the children could learn about how chickens are born.
Of the 12 eggs the school looked after, nine hatched last week, much to the delight of children.

Mohammed Patel from TD Direct Investing said: “Seeing their faces after the nine chicks were hatched highlighted that this was money well spent.”
The chicks have now gone to new homes and their owners will be sending the children regular updates on how they are progressing.
