Our school chickens

We now have 4 beautiful free range hens living in our school field!

Due to the amount of fantastic name suggestions, the children picked names off a hundred square and the winners were picked out of hat at an official naming ceremony. 

Congratulations to:

• Laurie who named Astrid
• Leo who named Angel
• Isabella who named Polly
• Mrs Miskin who named Brenda

The chickens thanked the winning children (and teacher!) with a chocolate golden egg and a real egg each! 

Each chicken can now be identified by a written description and photograph attached to the pen. 

The chickens have a large grass area to roam in and the children love to collect the eggs, watch the hens having a dust bath and feed them scraps, grass and grain.
