InnovatED – Chickens

Semester 1 of 2022 I chose chickens as my InnovatED.

During Semester 1, my InnovatED project was caring for the school chickens. My group consisted of Rhys, Josh, Advait, Jarrah and I. Our contribution to the chickens was making them a portable chicken coop, ‘the chicken run’ so that they could enjoy new grass and roam on new land on the school campus. This would be a big improvement to their previous lifestyle as the chickens are rarely getting to roam freely. I liked this program because I got to actually build the coop. I have never built something before and it was a fun experience working with my group to create a better lifestyle for the chickens. Being outdoors was also a nice change from being in the classroom. Unfortunately, a chicken died during term 2. It is believed that it had some sort of disease and that there was nothing we could do to save it (Rest in peace).
