When I walked into the fresh smelling garden there was a big surprise waiting for all of us. The chickens had finally arrived! Lucca

As we were lining up to go into the chook shed I felt excited. Our teacher had to put her foot out so that the chickens wouldn’t escape. Sam and Marley tipped out a bag of food scraps for them to eat. I watched how one chicken stayed back because it was less dominant than the other three.  Jessica

We are very excited for the arrival of our four Isa Brown chooks on the 21st of May, 2013. The chooks will be happy arriving in cooler weather, they really don’t like creating a new home when the weather is really hot. In the last three months the Passionfruit and Jasmine vines have grown exceptionally well and will provide the chooks with shade during the warmer months.

 What will the chooks eat?

In the Kitchen Garden we strongly believe in reusing and reducing waste to help run a sustainable program. The chooks will enjoy the vegetable and fruit scraps from the school Kitchen and Canteen. 

How will the eggs be used?

The very yummy eggs, with bright yellow yolks will be used in the Kitchen by the Year 4 and 5 students as part of the Kitchen Garden Program.
