Christmas School Holiday Chicken Duty Roster

Thank you to all of the families who have so generously volunteered to help look after our chickens over the Christmas school holidays. We now have a full roster and all the wonderful duty families will be able to take home the yummy eggs they collect.

If you missed out on volunteering these holidays, remember that there are lots of weekends and school holidays next year and we will need more volunteers then!

Egg Lotto

Thank you to everyone who has bought an egg lotto ticket throughout the year. Every dollar goes towards buying feed and other supplies that help to keep the chickens happy and healthy.

And they sure are happy! Have you seen the size of their eggs?

The winners for weeks 8-9 are…
