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 Spavinaw, Oklahoma Baby chicks are quite cute and also challenging to resist, yet it's best to prepare for their arrival prior to you obtain them. Prepare first by gathering not only the appropriate materials, but additionally the appropriate knowledge to care for them. Raising baby chicks is reasonably easy, you merely need to provide them with the following: A clean as well as warm and comfortable habitat Plenty of food as well as water Focus and love Environment Your habitat can be a simple box, fish tank, cat service provider, or guinea pig cage. Line it with old towels and also blankets (with no loosened strings!) to begin, as well as after a few weeks use straw over newspaper. Note: Avoid utilizing just newspaper or various other sandal surfaces-- or your chicks legs could grow misshapen. You additionally need something to dish out food and water in, such as a chicken feeder as well as water meal from the feed store, or a pickle jar cover for food and also an animal bird water dispenser from an animal store. Likewise, as the chicks age you can introduce a perch into the environment to obtain them trained on perching. Heat To maintain your chicks heat you should offer them with a heat resource. This can be as simple as a 100 watt light bulb in a reflective clamp design lamp from an equipment shop, or an infrared reptile warmth bulb also work very well (my referral). Chicks need this heat 24/7 until their downy fluff is changed with feathers (which can use up to two months). The newly hatched out require a temperature level in between 90 and also 100 degrees, and every week this can be minimized by about 5 levels or so. The heat resource must get on just one side of the cage to allow chicks a variety of temperatures. The chicks are your finest thermometer- if they are hiding in the contrary edge of your warmth light, you should decrease the temperature. If they are smothering each various other under the warmth (not simply curling up), you have to add some warmth. House cleaning Tidiness is essential and also it keeps your chicks healthy. Be sure to transform the bedding commonly and consistently provide tidy food and water Food as well as water. Chicks grow very quickly which calls for a lot of tidy food as well as water. Provide sufficient at all times and examine commonly to stop parched and also hungry chicks. Chick food is different compared to adult chicken food, and it is available in both medicated as well as non-medicated ranges. Feed chick food for the very first 2 months, then switch to a grower food (~ 17 % healthy protein) for one more 2 months, then to a slightly lower protein feed or a level feed (if you have layers). Dirt Some chicks want to obtain a running start on taking dirt bathrooms, while others will not occupy that activity till they are older. If you have the room in your chick enclosure, present a tray of sand or filth for them to shower in. Interest as well as love There are a couple of benefits to spending quality time with your chicks. First off, they will most likely bond with you and also not escape as grownups. Second, if you examine your chicks daily as well as see their actions, you can catch disease or various other problems earlier. Watch out for hissing, hopping, or various other unhealthy indicators. Make sure to likewise check out their poop, as diarrhea could bring about matted plumes and blocked cloaca. Finally, it is important to watch out for social concerns, such as the tiniest chick getting badgered. Vacant nest disorder So your chicks are now fully feathered and also its time for them to leave the safety of your residence and relocate outside right into a cage.
