Chicken/Poultry Curriculum

[Eleanor McReynolds]

Does anyone know of a good elementary school curriculum on intro to chickens? I have tried the 4-h stuff, but it was waaay over my kids heads.

I don't know of anything...but there must be some youtube videos that would be quite simple. Chckens are wonderful...I have 6 hens and Good Knight, their rooster. There are some awesome books on chickens..I have one titled Free-range Chicken Gardens. Mother Earth News and Grit magazines always have articles on chickens. I hope this helps.

You can contact the Wellness Teacher at The Academy for Global Citizenship, Arathi Jayaram, who teaches a unit on chickens for kindergarteners.  They have chickens at school and they are integrated into the curriculum often.  Best of luck!

Thanks for the wonderful suggestions, everyone. Eleanor, if you are in the Chicagoland area, I would try reaching out to the Chicago Chicken Enthusiasts google group: https://sites.google.com/site/chicagochickenenthusi/. It is run by Martha Boyd of Angelic Organics Learning Center, and she may be a good resource as well. Good luck!

Best,
Lydia

I'm sorry I don't have contact person but their first grade is responsible for their chickens all year which is connected to school wide curriculum
