Woodbury Court chicks hatch just in time for Easter!

Residents at Woodbury Court have enjoyed a magical few days, watching their chicks hatch over the Easter weekend.

Residents were delighted to welcome ten chicks into their home, just in time for their Easter celebrations. The team thought it would be a wonderful experience for residents to see first-hand the chicks hatch from their eggs. The incubator was put in one of the home’s social areas, and residents sat together eagerly watching as the chicks hatched one by one.

By Easter weekend, all ten chicks had hatched and from this week, residents will be able to hold them.

Home Manager, Mel Oliver commented:

“Everyone at Woodbury Court was so excited to see the chicks hatch and some residents even stayed up watching and waiting. At Woodbury Court, we love to create and share in truly magical moments for residents, and this really was a great treat for us all. The residents are looking forward to handling and caring for the chicks and watching them grow.”

Woodbury Court is part of the Runwood Homes Group. Runwood Homes’ Dignity theme of the month focuses on ‘New Beginnings’. The opportunity to watch new life enter the world, and to see the chicks thrive and grow all within their home is a wonderful reflection and celebration of this theme.  

Woodbury Court are always finding new ways to create such magical moments within their care home. Bonding over special moments, like this one, help to create a real sense of community, where residents, team members, family and friends can connect in new and meaningful ways.
