SRC Dress Up Day

Volunteers Needed in the Chicken Coup!

We currently have 11 lively POPS hens in our chook house. If you would like to care for the POPS hens for a week or two, please add your name to the hen roster.  https://myschoolconnect.com.au/app/volunteer

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 please…

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

- 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 there too – 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 the veggie garden – you are welcome to water, harvest or weed the garden too!!
