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.

the Murray McMurray Hatchery catalog. We love looking at all the cool and

pounds when full grown. Just like ordering anything online there are pros

Quantity - you must order a certain number of chicks. Typically hatcheries
will require you buy a minimum of 25 chicks at a time. The number is
necessary for the chicks survival during shipping. All 25 chicks are put
in one small box without heat. They are crowded in the box and produce
enough body heat to arrive in good shape. * The wait - If you choose to
buy chicks from a feed store you will have them the same day but if you
choose to go with a hatchery you have to wait until they are ready to ship
and then wait for the chicks to arrive. Ordering baby chicks online in
Paynesville West Virginia is easy and has always been a very pleasant
experience of me. It can be a little frustrating waiting for the chicks
but it's so worth the wait. When the post office calls and you hear all
those little "cheeps" or "chirps" in the background you'll know the wait
was worth it! How to Care for your new baby chickens in Paynesville,
West Virginia Baby chicks are extremely
charming and also
tough to stand up to,
yet it's best to prepare for their
arrival before you get them. Prepare initially
by gathering not just the
proper materials, however
additionally the proper
knowledge to care for
them. Raising baby chicks is fairly
simple, you just need
to supply them with the following: A
clean and also warm
habitat Plenty of food and water Attention as well as
love Environment Your environment could be a basic box, aquarium,
pet cat carrier, or guinea
pig cage. Line it with old towels and also
coverings (without loose
strings!) to start, and also after a few weeks use straw over paper.
Note: Avoid using just
paper or other sandal
surface areas-- or your chicks legs could expand
malformed. You likewise need
something to serve up food as well as
water in, such as a chicken feeder and water
recipe from the feed shop, or a pickle jar
lid for food as well as a pet dog bird water dispenser from an animal shop. Likewise, as the chicks get
older you can present a perch
right into the habitat to obtain them
educated on perching. Heat To
maintain your chicks heat you have to
offer them with a warmth resource.
This could be as simple as a 100 watt
light bulb in a reflective clamp style light from an equipment store, or an infrared reptile heat
bulb also function effectively (my
recommendation). Chicks need this
warmth 24/7 until their downy fluff is
replaced with plumes (which could take up to two months). The newly
hatched out require a temperature level
between 90 and 100 levels,
and every week this could
be reduced by
about 5 levels or
so. The heat source need to be on just one side of the cage
to allow chicks a variety of
temperature levels. The chicks are your ideal
thermostat- if they are concealing in the
other edge of your heat
light, you should
minimize the temperature level. If
they are smothering each other under the
heat (not merely cuddling),
you should add some heat.
House cleaning
Cleanliness is crucial and also it maintains your chicks healthy and
balanced. Make sure to transform
the bed linen
often as well as
constantly provide clean
food and also water Food and water.
Chicks expand very fast
which calls for lots of tidy
food and water. Provide
sufficient whatsoever times and inspect
frequently to
stop thirsty as well as
hungry chicks. Chick food is various compared
to grown-up chicken food, and it is available in both medicated as well as non-medicated varieties. Feed chick food for the
initial two months, after that
change to a grower food (~ 17 %
protein) for another 2 months,
and after that to a slightly
reduced protein feed or a layer feed
(if you have levels). Soil Some chicks want
to obtain a head start on taking
filth baths, while others will not use up that activity till they are
older. If you have the space in your chick
room, introduce a tray of sand or
filth for them to shower in.
Interest and also love There are a
few benefits to hanging
out with your chicks. First off, they will probably bond with you as well as
not flee as adults. Second, if you
analyze your chicks daily and also
view their actions, you could
capture ailment or various
other troubles previously. Watch out for wheezing, limping, or
other unhealthy
indications. Make certain to
likewise take a look at
their poop, as looseness of the bowels could cause matted plumes as well
as stopped up cloaca.
Last but not least, it is necessary to look out
for social issues, such as the
tiniest chick getting badgered. Empty nest disorder So your
chicks are now totally feathered
and also its time for them to leave the
security of your home
as well as move outside right into a
coop. Check out our
part on chicken cages to get more information
about cages as well as
appropriate coop environments.
