Local Initiative Leaves Care Home Residents Feeling Like Spring Chickens

That the Parliament welcomes the new feathered residents at Renaissance Care’s Jesmond facility in the Bridge of Don, Aberdeen; commends the residents and care home staff for successfully incubating 17 eggs, monitoring temperature, ventilation and humidity levels to ensure the perfect environment was met to produce healthy chicks; believes that the occupants of the care home eagerly awaited the arrival of the chicks, ensuring that they had everything they needed to grow in their temporary new home; understands that the hatchlings, once strong enough, were transferred to a box with a heat lamp, shelter and plenty of food and water; notes that the chicks were showered with love and affection and helped to keep residents entertained and active during the COVID-19 lockdown, and celebrates this initiative to bring joy to older people during this difficult time.
