See the POPS Chook Book (you will receive a copy when you collect the key from the Office) for details such as suitable foods to give the chooks but essentially…

- organise to collect the keys from the school office on a Friday after school or between yourselves.

- Check there is enough food (pellets/mash) and water every 2 - 3 days or daily if you wish.

- If you run out of food there are new bags in the garden shed, your key will open this.

- There are some seeds the hens love in a container in the garden shed – only ½ cup every 2-3 days.

- There are also some egg cartons on top of the old fridge in there if you forget to bring one.

- Scoop out any mess from the laying boxes/hutch and put it in the bin just outside their hutch for composting. If you need more straw there is some in the shed too.

- Collect and enjoy the delicious eggs 😊

The hens love fresh scraps from your kitchen! The chook key opens the garden shed and also the veggie garden – you are welcome to water, harvest or weed the garden too!!
