Marie also gave us a special spray that will get rid of any bugs that may be lurking around. She also left some booklets with lots of information for us, so if we need to know anything we can just look it up. If we get extra stuck we are allowed to email Marie too.
Thanks so much NRM and Marie. The Toko kids and Toko chickens really appreciate your donation.
Maree’s Visit
Today Maree from NRM came to room4 to come and see our chickens and how we’re going, she told us that each fully grown chicken should only eat 130gms of grain.
We learnt that the chickens normally stop laying in the winter and that in the winter they need a warm space to keep them laying eggs, so we have some to sell. Isabel, Liam and Jordan went to show Maree and Mrs Waite the chicken coop, then Liam lifted the bottom brooder boxes lid up and we saw one of the chickens laying but she was shaking, Maree said it wants to have babies. We learnt a lot of new things from her and (we won’t forget them.) Maree gave us a document with two chook books and a spray to keep the bugs away and to stop the chickens from getting fleas.
On the way back to class Isabel ran to tell Mrs Hancock that one of the chickens is wanting to have babies then Liam and the others walked through the door and told Mrs Hancock what Isabel told her. By the time it was morning tea time Emma, Pippa and Mackenzie C went see who the chicken was and it was ‘Snowy’ and the separated her into a small place.

Very generous NRM and it was cool that Maree was able to teach you some new things about your hens. Can't wait to see the pumpkin update. Nicky.
