    Big News Article!

    Thanks Rosy! The article was wrong on one count, I had 700 students, not 400! I am going to have another grade, which is 825. Luckily, I just have to make sure they do have fun! We had a bad storm here recently that blew down half the sunflowers & flooded the courtyards. I had to evacuate the...

    Big News Article!

    Our school garden with the chickens was just written up in the Detroit Free Press! The site is http://www.freep.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=/20070826/CFPO8/708260522/1110/NEWS I found it by putting in the title of the article Southfield schoolkids learn about life in garden.

    newspaper article

    Hi all! My school garden was recently featured in a newspaper. It's not entirely correct, but its a nice article. If you would like to look at it, it is on the Southfield Eccentric website.

    Eye lid swollen shut, mucos

    Luckily the school has 2 courtyards, so the farm birds are isolated, completely now from the rest of the flock. I put some antibiotics in their water. I figure if the one was sick, maybe the other wouldn't be far behind. As I was moving the other, she seemed to sneeze. They are eating &...

    Eye lid swollen shut, mucos

    Hi, It's been raining buckets here for days. The 2 farm hens, RIRs, seemed not to know to get out of the rain. Everytime I saw them they were soaked. Yesterday one was finally in the coop. Her eyelid seemed to be swollen shut. When I checked on her later, it was open a tiny bit. Today it's...

    sBig Thank You!

    I just wanted to thank some people who helped me improve my flock at school. I was able to take out some roosters and replace them with hens. This had to be done before school started so as not to upset my (now) over 800 science students. The students range in grade from K-5, so I didn't really...

    Help! I need some young female RIRs!!! MI, N. Ohio

    Thanks Kaleeka for sending me towards the farmer! I was able to "switch" the 2 roosters for 2 hens at school. I don't think the few children who saw the roosters will notice the difference, except maybe once's not crowing! I hope the lone little rooster learns fast! Leaving soon to get the...

    Teen caught Sneaking out Again!

    I agree with you completely the way you handled the situation in the first place. You have to follow through now. Like you said, you don't want to be a grandparent. My 13 year old was caught sneaking out a month ago & we were a nervous wreck trying to figure out where she was. This is a crazy...

    We had a visitor...pretty!!

    I agree with Mac, it's a polyphemus moth, a silk worm moth. It's partially covering its eye spots. Cool!

    compound chain

    Ummmm, guys, wrong game! You are supposed to make a compound word based on the last word. For example: ice cream creamsicle If you cannot make a work from sicle, then we start a new compound chain. Here's a new start: treehouse so next person needs to make a word that starts with house.

    It's Done - Roo#2 is in the pot

    I sure appreciate everyone sharing their feelings. I culled my first rooster the other night, by myself. My husband had offered, but I felt as science teacher I should do it. I slit his throat, brought him home & plucked it. All the way home in the car, I thought the thing was going to raise up...
