dirtgirl's Nature Detective Academy – Chickens

calling all nature detectives!

Hi nature detective! It’s dirtgirl here.

Welcome to the Nature Detective Academy! Would you like to go outside exploring with me on a nature detective academy mission?

Today, we’re finding out about my favourite feathered friends … CHICKENS!

Whether you call them chickens, chooks, the girls or the cluckers … chickens are just so helpful and they are great pets! These feathered friends make eggs to eat and they even make fertiliser for your garden. They’ll eat up your leftover veggie scraps too … they really are the world’s best happy little helpers!
