Karen & co. Posted June 8, 2007 Share Posted June 8, 2007 My daughter is to do a show and tell in 2 weeks, and has chosen to talk about battery hens, and therefore take in one of our ex-batt girls to show how they recover I mentioned a while ago about health and safety, and wondered where the download from the omlet site had gone , but now her school seem convinced that there will be allergy problems or infection chances. Does anyone have any suggestions where I can find information to take in to show it won't be a problem, as long as they follow basic hand washing, they have a gardening club for goodness sake karen x Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Egluntyne Posted June 8, 2007 Share Posted June 8, 2007 (edited) I took my chickens into a local nursery school recently. The hens were outside and the children didn't touch them at all. There's a links somewhere....I'll try to find it!. ....here it is.... I took in pellets, grit, sweetcorn and mealworms and we talked about them. There was a great deal of interest in the topic of poo! I downloaded the Omlet Hen from the schools bit of the website and they all coloured it in. I took in an egg for each child too.
