Creating Rock Chicks and other fun at the farm

This week our family had our first trip away in over a year – long overdue I must say. We took the girls to a farm stay so they could experience the fresh air and we could relax on the deck enjoying the peace and quiet and lovely scenery. The farm we visited is located at beautiful Port Stevens, NSW, a popular beach holiday destination. We went once before a couple of years ago and decided to return because the accommodation is so kid-friendly and there is plenty of hands-on opportunity for the kids to help out with all the different animals. Naturally we packed a few basic art and craft supplies to keep them busy at other times of the day and one of the things we made are these cute & easy Rock Chicks.
While at the farm the girls held and petted real baby chicks, collected the eggs (very popular with my two), held a large snake, gave the pig (named Bacon #19) a back-scratch, rode on the tractor and also collected some beautiful spotty feathers and large round rocks which is what inspired us to make the rock chicks. Before I get straight into the craft here are a few pictures of the fun the girls got up to at the farm stay…

To make the Rock chicks

We washed our collection of rocks in the sink to get all the dirt off and left them to dry.
Once completely dry, we stuck on googly eyes, the feathers and a simple yellow paper beak – and that’s all!
They make great souvenirs, and handy paper weight too.

How to Care for your new baby chickens in Kasson, Minnesota Baby chicks are very cute and also challenging to withstand, yet it's best to plan for their arrival prior to you obtain them. Prepare first by collecting not only the appropriate materials, but additionally the appropriate understanding to take care of them. Raising baby chicks is fairly basic, you just need to provide them with the following: A clean as well as cozy environment Plenty of food and also water Attention and also love Habitat Your habitat can be a basic box, fish tank, cat service provider, or guinea pig cage. Line it with old towels as well as coverings (with no loose strings!) to start, as well as after a couple of weeks make use of straw over paper. Keep in mind: Avoid utilizing only newspaper or other sandal surface areas-- or your chicks legs can grow misshapen. You likewise require something to provide food and also water in, such as a chicken feeder and also water recipe from the feed shop, or a pickle jar lid for food and an animal bird water dispenser from an animal store. Additionally, as the chicks age you could introduce a perch into the habitat to get them trained on perching. Warmth To keep your chicks warm you have to offer them with a heat source. This can be as easy as a 100 watt light bulb in a reflective clamp design light from a hardware shop, or an infrared reptile warmth light bulb also work effectively (my recommendation). Chicks require this warmth 24/7 until their downy fluff is replaced with plumes (which could use up to 2 months). The recently hatched need a temperature in between 90 and 100 levels, and also every week this could be lowered by around 5 degrees approximately. The warmth resource need to get on merely one side of the cage to allow chicks an array of temperatures. The chicks are your best thermostat- if they are hiding in the contrary edge of your warmth lamp, you should lower the temperature. If they are surrounding each various other under the warmth (not simply cuddling), you have to add some warmth. House cleaning Tidiness is vital and also it maintains your chicks healthy and balanced. Make certain to transform the bedding commonly and also constantly give clean food and water Food as well as water. Chicks grow quite quick which requires lots of clean food as well as water. Provide enough whatsoever times as well as check often to prevent parched and also starving chicks. Chick food is various compared to adult chicken food, as well as it comes in both medicated and non-medicated selections. Feed chick food for the initial 2 months, then switch to a raiser food (~ 17 % healthy protein) for one more 2 months, and after that to a somewhat reduced protein feed or a layer feed (if you have layers). Dirt Some chicks prefer to obtain a running start on taking filth baths, while others will not take up that task until they are older. If you have the space in your chick unit, present a tray of sand or filth for them to wash in. Attention and love There are a couple of advantages to spending quality time with your chicks. To start with, they will certainly more than likely bond with you as well as not flee as grownups. Second, if you examine your chicks daily as well as watch their actions, you can catch health problem or other troubles previously. Keep an eye out for wheezing, hopping, or various other harmful indicators. Make sure to also take a look at their poop, as looseness of the bowels can cause matted feathers as well as clogged up cloaca. Finally, it is necessary to watch out for social problems, such as the smallest chick getting badgered. Vacant nest syndrome So your chicks are currently fully feathered and its time for them to leave the safety of your home and also move outside into a coop.
