Chickens 🐤🐤🐤
We have lots of different types of chickens at our place.
A boy chicken is called a rooster and a girl is called a hen.
Can you tell which photo is a hen and which photo is a rooster?
The first photo is rooster and the second photo is a hen.
Roosters are bigger than hens and they crow (make a loud noise) and they have a different comb (thing on the top of the head.
These chickens are called Silkies and this is a type of bantam
This is a Pekin hen she is also a bantam.
Bantam means small breed of chicken
This is a white leg horn rooster. He is much bigger.
This Silkie hen is on her nest, hopefully she is laying a egg.
She might go broody soon.
Broody means she will stay on her nest most of the time and I can put some eggs under her and breed some chicks (baby chickens).
Eggs need to be under the hen for 3 weeks to hatch.
Our chicken like to eat wheat like the hen in the story.
Here is my chicken drawing.
I put labels on the feet, legs beak, eyes, comb, wings and tail.
Did you know that Silkie chickens have 5 toes ( Other types of chickens only have 4 toes)
Kia Ora James, wow what a lot of detail you have put into your report. I think it is great you included yourself in the pictures with the chickens. You did a great job with you labelled diagram. What is your favourite fact about chickens?

DeleteMy favourite chicken fact is they lay one egg a day per chicken.
Hi James, what a great report you have done on Chickens. I love how you have added photos as well as all the information. I did not know the fact about Silkie chickens having 5 toes. What is your favourite type of chicken?

Hi James
ReplyDeleteWow I loved reading all about your chickens! What a lot of information you have included in your report, I like how you explained what different words mean like comb and broody. Did you know that I think I can hear you roosters from my house? On quiet morning from my deck I often hear roosters and I think they are your roosters! Lucy knows lots about chicken too, have you spoken to her about chickens? Thanks for your great work James!
Hi Miss Watherston
ReplyDeleteMaybe your neighbour has some roosters to. I think mine are too far away for you to hear. Yes I have talked to Lucy about her chickens. Isa in my class has chickens too.
