Eight juvenile chickens were recently introduced to Oathall Farm and they are thriving in their new environment, with some laying already.
Pictured here are Y10 volunteer feeders, Lillie-Rose, Eleanor and Megan who we are are indebted to for their enthusiasm and support on the Farm.
The chickens are settling well into the new chicken area, envisioned and created by Clara Farmer (Senior Farm Technician) and Chris Candy (Farm Technician). The chickens are especially enjoying the variety of enrichment features, and can be seen foraging near habitat piles, resting on their log perches and even balancing on their tree swing!
There are now 10 chickens on the Farm with breeds ranging from Speckedly Gold to Amber Star.
