17 fluffy chicks flock to Cork city primary school

A primary school in Cork have been flocked with a batch of new arrivals - 17 baby chickens who hatched in a classroom.

Three weeks ago the First Class girls at Scoil an Spioraid Naoimh in Bishopstown began monitoring 21 eggs, which they kept in an incubator.

Under the watchful eyes of the girls and their teacher, Iníon Ní Choileáin, 21 eggs have become 17 lovely little chickens.
