0:01:050:01:06

Woof!

0:01:060:01:08

Today we're in Birmingham to meet Millie and her pets.

0:01:080:01:12

I wonder what they are? Come on!

0:01:120:01:14

-Hello, Millie!

-Hello, Rory!

-And you must be Mum, hello.

-Hi.

0:01:190:01:23

-And who's this?

-That's my brother, Ben.

-Hello, Ben.

0:01:230:01:27

-Right, where are your pets?

-Come on, in the back garden!

-OK.

0:01:270:01:31

Oh, wow! My absolute favourite -

0:01:370:01:40

chickens.

0:01:400:01:42

They're amazing. What are their names?

0:01:420:01:45

Well, this one is Matilda, that one's Cola, and that one's Chocolate.

0:01:450:01:49

They're lovely. Which one's your favourite?

0:01:490:01:52

-I'd say Chocolate's my favourite.

-So is she very friendly, then?

-Yeah.

0:01:520:01:57

-Shall we see if she'll let us pick her up?

-Yeah.

-Yeah? OK, let's try.

0:01:570:02:01

Good girl. I've got her.

0:02:010:02:04

-Got you.

-Oh, wow! Hello, Chocolate.

-Come here, girl.

0:02:040:02:08

Oh, thank you. What a beautiful chicken you've got.

0:02:080:02:13

Let's look at her feet, here. What's that on the end of her feet?

0:02:130:02:17

They're little claws that help her dig.

0:02:170:02:19

Of course. That's what they're good for, isn't it? Digging.

0:02:190:02:23

Chickens are omnivorous which means they like to eat seeds and fruit

0:02:230:02:27

and living things like worms and creepy crawlies.

0:02:270:02:31

These claws are perfect for digging.

0:02:310:02:33

Let me just hold her, and do you want to pull her wing out?

0:02:330:02:37

Very gently.

0:02:370:02:38

'Look at her beautiful feathers.'

0:02:380:02:40

Do you think they're good at flying?

0:02:400:02:43

No, they're not very good at flying.

0:02:430:02:45

Chickens only fly if they're scared or going for a little explore.

0:02:450:02:50

I called Chocolate a she there, but I don't know if it's a girl.

0:02:500:02:54

What is she, a boy or a girl?

0:02:540:02:56

-She's a girl.

-How do you know she's a girl?

0:02:560:02:59

-That's because she lays eggs.

-That's right.

0:02:590:03:02

Girl chickens are called hens, and lay eggs.

0:03:020:03:05

Boy chickens are called cockerels.

0:03:050:03:07

Now, what else can we see?

0:03:070:03:09

-Look at her beak there.

-Yeah.

-It's very sharp.

0:03:090:03:12

-What do you think that's good for?

-For pecking and eating worms.

0:03:120:03:17

Yes, pecking at worms that she's found with her claws.

0:03:170:03:20

Well, I think Chocolate is fantastic and I absolutely love chickens,

0:03:200:03:24

they're my favourite.

0:03:240:03:26

Ferne, can you give us some fun feathery facts

0:03:260:03:29

about our new friends here?

0:03:290:03:31

Of course, Rory.

0:03:310:03:33

A chicken can lay as many as 300 eggs a year.

0:03:330:03:36

Eggs have their own protective covering

0:03:380:03:41

which keeps out bugs and bacteria.

0:03:410:03:43

There are a huge variety of chickens and lots of people keep them.

0:03:450:03:50

They live all over the world, in and out of people's homes.

0:03:500:03:54

-Wow! Is this where the chickens live?

-Yes. And it's called a coop.

0:04:010:04:06

That's right, a chicken's house is called a coop.

0:04:060:04:09

-Can we look inside?

-Yes.

-OK.

0:04:090:04:11

Oh, wow. This looks fantastic!

0:04:140:04:16

Can you tell me about all these things inside?

0:04:160:04:20

This here is the perch. That's where they sleep.

0:04:200:04:24

And here is a box and that is where they lay their eggs.

0:04:240:04:28

It's very nicely decorated, did you paint that?

0:04:280:04:31

-Yes, I did.

-Wait a minute, I can see some eggs in there.

0:04:310:04:35

-Can we collect them now?

-No.

-Oh, I'm so hungry! What do we need to do?

0:04:350:04:40

First, we are going to clean out the pen.

0:04:400:04:43

What do we have to do now?

0:04:450:04:47

-We've got to get those trays and empty them into the bin.

-OK.

0:04:470:04:51

Excellent. Sweep all that in there.

0:04:530:04:56

Two empty trays.

0:04:560:04:58

Now, we've got to get the new woodchippings

0:04:580:05:02

-and throw them in the tray.

-OK.

0:05:020:05:04

-Do you think the chickens are going to like it, Millie?

-Yep.

0:05:060:05:10

-OK. Those are looking fantastic, aren't they?

-Yes.

0:05:100:05:14

-Right, now, surely we can collect the eggs now?

-No.

0:05:190:05:23

-Oh! What do we need to do now?!

-We need to change their food.

0:05:230:05:27

Oh, we feed the chickens first. OK, let's do that.

0:05:270:05:30

So, you fill that up

0:05:320:05:34

-to the very top with that food.

-OK.

0:05:340:05:37

You can feed your chickens special grains or pellets just like this,

0:05:390:05:44

but it's also good to let them peck around

0:05:440:05:47

to get something wild as well. Maybe some creepy crawlies.

0:05:470:05:51

-OK. Now can we collect the eggs?

-No.

-What do we have to do first?

0:05:510:05:57

-We've got to change their water.

-OK, that's important.

0:05:570:06:00

It's important to make sure your chickens

0:06:040:06:08

have got fresh water every day

0:06:080:06:10

and that their food and water containers are nice and clean.

0:06:100:06:15

-OK, NOW can we collect the eggs?

-Yes!

-Yes! Brilliant, let's go.

0:06:150:06:19

One here.

0:06:240:06:26

Two, three. Three eggs.

0:06:280:06:30

-When the chickens are laying eggs do they make some fun noises?

-Yes!

0:06:300:06:35

Bwuk! Buk buk buk brrr-awk! Buk buk buk brrr-awk!

0:06:350:06:38

MILLIE GIGGLES

0:06:380:06:40

Now that we've fed and cleaned the chickens,

0:06:470:06:50

-we're going to have some fun, aren't we?

-Yes!

0:06:500:06:53

We've got all these lovely eggs,

0:06:530:06:55

and some extra ones, that have been boiled.

0:06:550:06:58

-What are we going to do with them?

-We're going to paint them.

-Excellent!

0:06:580:07:02

I'll give you that one. And I'll take one.

0:07:020:07:05

-Now, let's get going, yeah?

-Yeah.

0:07:050:07:07

These are looking brilliant.

0:07:220:07:25

-What are we going to do now, put them in an egg museum?

-No.

-No?

0:07:250:07:29

Mum's going to hide them in the garden

0:07:290:07:31

and we're going to find them.

0:07:310:07:33

We're going to count to ten with our eyes closed.

0:07:330:07:36

-We're going to have a fantastic egg hunt. Ready?

-Yeah.

-Let's count.

0:07:360:07:41

-BOTH:

-One, two,

0:07:410:07:42

three, four,

0:07:420:07:44

five, six,

0:07:440:07:46

seven, eight,

0:07:460:07:47

nine, ten!

0:07:470:07:49

-Ready or not...

-BOTH:

-Here we come!

0:07:490:07:52

Let's go, let's go.

0:07:520:07:54

I found one!

0:07:560:07:58

Oh, well done.

0:07:590:08:01

'And look, Ben is joining in, too.'

0:08:020:08:05

I think I found one and it's the one that says 'Rory' on it!

0:08:070:08:11

Well done, Ben, that was brilliant fun.

0:08:160:08:19

But all that hard work's made me very hungry.

0:08:190:08:22

-Doesn't matter, Rory, it's lunchtime!

-Yes! What's for lunch?

0:08:220:08:26

Eggs, of course. Come on, let's go and wash our hands.

0:08:260:08:29

Pancakes are one of my favourite things to eat with eggs in.

0:08:350:08:39

-So are mine.

-So mine.

0:08:390:08:41

-Look, the chickens are having their lunch, too.

-Yes, they are.

0:08:410:08:46

You enjoying that, ladies?

0:08:460:08:48

My Pet And Me!

0:09:020:09:03

-I love all the sounds chickens make, don't you?

-Yeah.

0:09:050:09:08

What do you think Chocolate is saying?

0:09:080:09:11

She's saying, "Do you want to dig up some worms with me?"

0:09:110:09:15

-She loves digging, doesn't she?

-Yeah.

0:09:150:09:18

If your chickens could do anything, what do you think they'd do?

0:09:180:09:22

If my chickens could do anything, they'll be archaeologists

0:09:260:09:31

cos they're really good at digging.

0:09:310:09:33

They'll fly over trees and go underground

0:09:330:09:36

and find lots of things like dinosaur fossils and bones.

0:09:360:09:41

And they would dig big holes to different places, like China.

0:09:410:09:47

Millie's chickens just lay eggs for eating.

0:09:500:09:53

But sometimes chickens lay special eggs that are not for eating

0:09:530:09:58

and we've got some special eggs right here.

0:09:580:10:01

What's so special about these eggs?

0:10:010:10:03

Inside the eggs are little chicks and they're hatching.

0:10:030:10:08

-One of them has already hatched.

-That's right.

0:10:080:10:11

-We've got one just hatched out here.

-And one that is just about to hatch.

0:10:110:10:16

Yes, look, it's coming out now.

0:10:160:10:18

Can you see the feathers moving around inside?

0:10:180:10:21

That's amazing, isn't it?

0:10:210:10:23

They normally have a mummy hen to sit on them and keep them warm.

0:10:230:10:27

But they don't have a mummy hen, so we've got to put them

0:10:270:10:31

in an incubator that keeps them warm.

0:10:310:10:33

So the incubator is just like a mummy hen, isn't it?

0:10:330:10:36

-Oh, this egg is coming right out now, this chick is popping out.

-Yes.

0:10:360:10:40

-It's got its head out, it's hatched.

-Oh, wow, that's amazing!

0:10:400:10:44

How are the chicks getting out?

0:10:440:10:47

Everyone thinks they use their beaks, but they don't.

0:10:470:10:50

On their beaks they've got like a little tooth called an egg tooth

0:10:500:10:54

-that they peck out with.

-Oh, that's right.

0:10:540:10:57

If you look at an adult chicken

0:10:570:10:59

they don't have one because they disappear.

0:10:590:11:02

Yes, they sort of fall off.

0:11:020:11:04

So when they get older they lose their egg tooth.

0:11:040:11:07

How will you look after the chicks?

0:11:070:11:09

-After a few hours we put them in this warm box here.

-OK.

0:11:090:11:13

And that keeps them warm like in the incubator.

0:11:130:11:16

There's one that's a little bit older, isn't there?

0:11:160:11:19

-Yeah.

-Shall we go and hold that one?

-Yeah.

-Come on.

0:11:190:11:22

Wow! Here they are.

0:11:260:11:29

-Oh, it's lovely, isn't it?

-Yeah.

-So fluffy.

0:11:290:11:32

What's in the box here?

0:11:340:11:35

The box has got a big heat lamp here that's very hot

0:11:350:11:39

to keep the chicks warm. There's some water there with stones in.

0:11:390:11:43

The stones make sure they don't flop in

0:11:430:11:46

and their food is just a little bowl in the corner there.

0:11:460:11:50

They've got everything they need then.

0:11:500:11:52

-There's something important we've not done.

-What?

0:11:520:11:56

-We need to give the chick a name.

-Yeah!

-What shall we call it?

0:11:560:11:59

-I'm going to call it Snowy.

-Aw, lovely, what a fantastic name.

0:11:590:12:03

Snowy is just perfect.

0:12:030:12:05

Millie, I've had a fantastic day,

0:12:050:12:07

meeting your chickens and learning how to look after them.

0:12:070:12:11

-Hello, Ferne.

-Hi, Rory.

-Hi, guys.

-How was your day?

0:12:200:12:25

Oh, it was amazing. Wait till I tell you all about it.

0:12:250:12:29

Today we met Millie and her chickens.

0:12:290:12:31

We cleaned out the chicken coop and gave them fresh food and water.

0:12:310:12:35

We decorated some of their eggs and had an egg hunt in the garden.

0:12:350:12:40

We had pancakes for lunch. Mm-mm!

0:12:400:12:42

Millie had some eggs in an incubator and we got to see some hatch.

0:12:420:12:46

It was amazing! They were so cute.

0:12:460:12:48

Thank you Millie and Snowy, the chick.

0:12:480:12:51

That sounds wonderful. And you made some great friends.

0:12:510:12:55

Yeah, pets are great but remember, before you touch any animal

0:12:550:12:59

-make sure it's OK with the owner first.

-That's right!

0:12:590:13:02

But one pet you can play with is ours.

0:13:020:13:04

Go onto the CBeebies website and play the My Pet And Me game.

0:13:040:13:08

We've had a fantastic day. We just love meeting you and your pets.
