Special Visitors
As part of our Garden Guest Speaker program this spring, we had the opportunity to learn a little more about the animals we will be caring for in the coming weeks. The Missoula Urban Development project (MUD) brought a chicken to visit our students while we talked about "sustainability" and growing your own food.
We learned about chickens needing a coop to live in, that roosters are NOT allowed in city limits, and that there are chickens that live in backyards all over Missoula! We got to pet and feed the hen they brought and check out her cool little chicken "stroller"!

I loved that many children overcame their fear and let the hen peck some chicken feed out of their hands. They were so gentle. They are going to be GREAT chicken parents!!!
