Chickens

Scottish Schools 1st Level

Available for over a year

Ameya and her brother Rajan have three chickens, Snowy, Starlight and Speckledy. The children explain how they look after the chickens, feeding and watering them and letting them out for a walk and a scratch around in the garden every day. We hear how the chickens have to be kept inside the henhouse at night to stay safe and warm, and out of any danger of foxes. Back indoors, Ameya and Rajan demonstrate how chickens cluck - feel free to join in! The children cook scrambled eggs and cheesy toast using eggs collected from the chickens, after washing their hands of course.
