Chicken Update W4 of Q1 of the 2022-2023 School year!

 This week the Farm classes were working on the chicken coop. The main project was to raise the old coop roof to allow me to get into the cages easier. For the past 5 years, I have been bumping my head on the door jamb.

Mrs. Boswell took one hen home.

We had a family purchase 14 hens today. The purchase started as the result of four hens that kept making their way to the front of the school. To eliminate the bad behavior we needed to move the hens. As a result, we had a family that took some of them and other hens.

We beat the rain during the exchange. We have an unprecedented heatwave that has been going on for the past three weeks. Today Tropical Storm Kay began dropping rain just after 2 pm. Last night at 11pm it was 89 degrees, the rain dropped the temperature to 70 degrees! A much-needed relief from the heat.

The chicken exchange was a result of these four girls heading out in front of the school each day. We had many concerned citizens calling the school letting us know they were out front.  To the age-old riddle...Why did the chicken cross the road? Answer... to have concerned citizens calling the school!







In case you have never met Mrs. Boswell. Here is a photo of her. She is on campus Wednesdays and Thursdays helping out.
