Examples of schools with hens, like school gardens??

[uncle rusty]

I help schools design natural playgrounds and have a visited a number of schools in the US that allow chickens. Childcare setting with an indoor / outdoor bantam (in a cage in the classroom like a bunny). A montessori school with a fenced-in chicken coop / pen in their playground area. Nature center preschools on farmland with chickens too. and I've heard of LOTS of great chicken -school stories in new zealand, australia, germany, etc.

its time there were chickens at every school!!!!!

I dunno about chickens at school

,but my teacher is going to get some eggs from me and hatch them,then give them away to the students... It sounds fun,but I have to tell them how to care for them and stuff..But It does sound like a learning experience to the students. Especially with frizzle turkens

(Yep,frizzle turken eggs,I'm giving them some before we hatch them under the broodies.)

But..she's a high school teacher..
(I'm homeschooled and she teaches me and other homeschoolers online as well as High schoolers at public schools.)

I teach 7-12 science. I have snakes, lizards, turtles, fish...and have had rats, mice, salamanders, and...I am sure other things...We hatch chicks all the time. I have a couple former students thatcan't eat eggs because ot it...oops...guess that embryonic development was a little to much! I do bring my birds in when we discuss birds and such. You can talk all day and show pictures but they will always remember doing something. I also do stuff over summers like giving talks at the library and such. It is a blast to bring in the different sized eggs of the different birds.

We can't let the kids eat anything prepared from a home...parents complained because some kids got sick last year...

none of my animals belong tot he school...I buy everything for them except the electricity to keep them warm and lit. I have kept everything from burmese pythons to blind snakes...

My grandson's after school care program has a coop and about 1/2 dozen free-range hens of all sorts. It's called Merriwood, and is on the campus of his elememtary school. The kids also can plant in the garden and build forts and treehouses in this upper play yard--It's quite a little piece of childhood heaven!
