The chicks visited Rongo-mā-tāne

On Monday morning the chicks came to the class so that people could hold them. They came from a farm. My family is looking after them and they will go back to the farm when they are a bit older. We had to put newspaper and a tarp on the floor so then they don't poop on the floor! My sister Charlotte stayed and helped. By Ashleigh

When I held the chick I had to put a towel over me. I had to be gentle because they will get scared. I liked holding it because it was cute and soft. By Indi-Lea

I held a chick. I had to hold it with two hands so it wouldn't fly away. You still have to hold it so gentle though and not make it squish. Thank you, Ashleigh and her Mum. By Tegan
