We are fortunate that we have eight cute little chicks in the KW classroom. They will be with us for another week. The KW students have been working hard with lots of fun "chick" activities over this past week.
How do we know if we have roosters or hens? At this stage in the process, there is no difference in visual appearance between a male and female chick. Both sexes appear the same until the differing traits become apparent. You will not know for about 8 weeks until the chick moves into the next stage of development being "a pullet" if it is a rooster or a hen.
Ms Williams will provide details this week to all Nicho families about the possibility of purchasing one of the chicks to take home.
Chicks R Us are happy to sell the chicks from the classroom experience for $10 each to Nicho families and friends.
Chicks R Us want you to have a positive fun experience with your chickens at all times and are committed to supporting their customers to achieve this. To support parents, they offer a follow up service for the six weeks after you take your chicken home.
From their experience some families find after a while that they cannot look after the chickens as initially thought. Their service provides an option to parents of returning their chickens, by them bringing the chickens to the farm. The parents can call them arrange a time they will visit the farm and drop off their chicken or rooster free.
If you are interested in purchasing one of the chicks, please look out for information which will be sent home this week via the class parent contacts.
