Written by Grade 5 Student, Matthew C.One day in my class, I heard that we were getting chickens! So, once I heard that, I started to wonder where they would live for the first 16 weeks of their life. Where would they play? One night, I decided to build a 16 inch chicken coop mansion for the little furry fellows! I made it out of cardboard, lots and lots of duck tape and I spray painted it gold. I brought it to my school and asked my teacher if the chicks could live in it for a few weeks. He said we would need a heater in there as well as some water for them to drink, but we could use it as a play room for them instead. The chicks love their new mansion!

This is a very funny and nostalgic story. I remember the days when I used to buy chicks back when I was a kid. I bought a chick once, and it grew up into a full grown chicken. It really took some time and effort to take care of him. We named him Chickie, but he died of old age unfortunately. I really look forward in reading more of your animal stories. 3/12/2017 09:41:21 am
I liked this project. He will certainly teach children to take care of animals and be responsible for the living being. 3/29/2017 05:45:07 am
What a sweet chick in these photos. I hope that the children will take good care of it and feed it. 4/20/2017 02:26:41 pm
That was really sweet. I would like to have some pets like that. Nevertheless, I have no farm. Leave a Reply. |
