Welcome to Owairaka... Introducing "Dusty" and "Pepper"




Room 6 and Owairaka now have two new chickens to take care for in our school coop. 

The new chickens are "bantams", and they are about 3 years old. They come to us from a local family who needed to find them a new home. 

It took about a week for the old residents (Turbo, Butter Chicken) to get used to the new arrivals, but they are getting on well now! We have already noticed there is more cleaning up to do in the coop each week, and we are having to provide lots more food and water!

We held a naming competition, and the winning names are:

- Dusty (from Zoe C, room 17)
- Pepper (from Mahalia, room 23)

Thanks for all your votes, and welcome to our two new additions!
