Written by Grade 6 student, Seth R.Our two oldest chickens Frosty and Storm have moved into the coop! They moved into the super coop on March 21st! Before there arrival we created a feeding system out of PVC pipe, this system can hold weeks of food! We also created watering system which can hold about 20Litres of water! This system was made by using a white plastic bucket and poultry nipples! Its super neat! Hopefully in four more weeks the other ten chickens will move in! How exciting!!  Written by Grade 6 student, Seth R.Since returning from February break the chicks have become much larger! Frosty and Storm now look like "real" chickens! Last week we all finished our antler coat hooks for the coop. They are mounted and look great! Last week we brought Frosty and storm into the coop to test it out. They seemed really happy! Mr. Callum visited us last week and let us know that Storm and Frosty could probably move into the coop in two weeks! That is awesome! Five of our new chicks seem to be roosters. I think they are roosters because they have very very very cute little red coombs. Mr. Callum will switch these roosters out after we raise them. Two of our old english bantams have coombs and three of our buckeye chicks also have coombs. |
