Meet our new chickens

On Saturday, Kathie brought six new chickens to our chicken coop. Three Silkes, one was white, one was black and one was brown. All of them are quite small and don't like loud noises. When many people crowd around them, they can freak out and run and hide in their coop. Hence, please don't scare the white Silkie because she might jump into the coop and hurt her head. Kathie also bought ISA Brown chickens, which are slightly smaller than our old ones with sleeker feathers. They are brown with white speckles and also run away when you get too close or make a loud noise, but please come meet them as they are very cute. Under no circumstances should you feed them unless there is a sign telling you what they can eat; if there is no sign, please ask the environment captains who will be able to inform you.
