New Hens and Roster

We have 6 new chickens at POPS and in conjunction with the year 6 environment team, we are looking for families to sign up each week (including the school holidays) to help with food and water, plus take home any eggs you collect! Please check for the roster at 

https://myschoolvolunteer.com.au/signup-event/chook-roster/ and sign up for a week or two.  The main jobs include;

- 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 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
