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 Frontier, Wyoming Baby chicks are quite charming and also challenging to withstand, however it's ideal to plan for their arrival before you get them.

You likewise need something to provide food and also water in, such as a chicken feeder as well as water dish from the feed shop, or a pickle container cover for food and also a family pet bird water dispenser from an animal store. Likewise, as the chicks get older you could present a perch right into the habitat to obtain them trained on setting down. Warmth To maintain your chicks heat you should give them with a heat resource. This can be as simple as a 100 watt light bulb in a reflective clamp style light from an equipment shop, or an infrared reptile heat light bulb likewise work effectively (my suggestion). Chicks require this warmth 24/7 till their downy fluff is replaced with plumes (which can occupy to 2 months). The recently hatched require a temperature in between 90 and 100 levels, and also each week this could be decreased by roughly 5 degrees or so.

If they are smothering each other under the heat (not just curling up), you should put some heat. Home cleaning Cleanliness is crucial and it maintains your chicks healthy and balanced. Be sure to transform the bed linen commonly and constantly give clean food and also water Food as well as water. Chicks grow quite quick which calls for lots of tidy food as well as water. Provide sufficient whatsoever times and also inspect usually to avoid thirsty and hungry chicks.

Feed chick food for the initial two months, after that switch over to a grower food (~ 17 % healthy protein) for one more 2 months, and after that to a slightly lower protein feed or a level feed (if you have layers). Soil Some chicks prefer to obtain a head start on taking dirt baths, while others won't take up that activity up until they are older. If you have the room in your chick unit, present a tray of sand or filth for them to shower in. Focus as well as love There are a few benefits to hanging out with your chicks. First of all, they will probably bond with you and also not flee as adults. Second, if you analyze your chicks daily and see their behavior, you could catch ailment or other problems previously. Keep an eye out for hissing, limping, or various other unhealthy signs. Make certain to likewise look at their poop, as diarrhea can cause matted plumes and also blocked cloaca.
