Chicken Update!

Over the last term, there has been a lot happening over at the chicken area. First Mr Hancock came and built a new run for our baby chickens. We have a separate shed and run for our babies and our big chickens so that they don't fight and peck each other. 

  

  

Now that our chicken venture has grown we found we needed a place to store all the food and chicken stuff. Mr Wisnewski came and built us a fabulous storage shed.  Now we can keep all our stuff in there and fit everything in. 

  

The whole area is starting to look great. We have planted a garden full of silver beet and spinach for the chicks. We have a tractor tyre which we are going to plant with flowers and greens for the chickens as well. 

We have dug out paths which are going to be filled with tiles made by Room 2, we have painted the shed and used blackboard paint on the doors so we can write messages to everyone who visits the chooks. 

Yesterday Roy donated a table and bench that he has made out of pallets. 

We are really proud of this area and love spending time over there with our chickens.

Fancy Flowers

Earlier this week, Aylah brought in some flowers that she had dyed with food colouring . They looked fabulous because the dye had gone through the veins of the flowers and made them look very pretty. So today we decided we'd like to dye some other flowers and see what happened. The rhododendron that Porsche is holding was white, now it is a beautiful blue. We still have lots of different flowers in test tubes and we're waiting anxiously to see what happens to them......
