0:01:07 > 0:01:09Today we're in lovely Llandudno in Wales
0:01:09 > 0:01:12to visit a very interesting school with some brilliant birds.
0:01:12 > 0:01:14Let's go and check it out.
0:01:20 > 0:01:22- Hey, guys.- Hi, Rory.
0:01:22 > 0:01:25- What are your names?- Mason.
0:01:25 > 0:01:26- Carys.- Kian.
0:01:26 > 0:01:28- I'm Fiona.- It is lovely to meet you all.
0:01:28 > 0:01:31And thank you so much for having me at your amazing school.
0:01:31 > 0:01:33- Who's this?- This is Mary.
0:01:33 > 0:01:35She looks very cosy in here.
0:01:35 > 0:01:38- So you've got chickens at your school?- Yeah.
0:01:38 > 0:01:39So how many chickens do you have in total?
0:01:39 > 0:01:41150.
0:01:41 > 0:01:44Wow! That's a lot of chickens.
0:01:44 > 0:01:47A group of chickens is called a flock or a brood,
0:01:47 > 0:01:49and they usually live in a special pen called a coop.
0:01:49 > 0:01:52Now, what sort of breed is this chicken?
0:01:52 > 0:01:55- German Langshan.- Oh, she's very lovely indeed.
0:01:55 > 0:01:58And what other breeds of chicken do you have here?
0:01:58 > 0:02:03French Copper Maran, Lavender, and some Gingernuts.
0:02:03 > 0:02:05Oh, lovely. So what colours of eggs
0:02:05 > 0:02:06do you get from the different breeds?
0:02:06 > 0:02:10We usually get blue, light blue,
0:02:10 > 0:02:14dark brown and white and
0:02:14 > 0:02:16just light brown a bit.
0:02:16 > 0:02:18So you've got a nice selection of colours there.
0:02:18 > 0:02:19That's very nice indeed.
0:02:19 > 0:02:22Now, this is a female chicken, so she's a hen.
0:02:22 > 0:02:24Do you guys know what a male chicken is called?
0:02:24 > 0:02:25- A hen.- Cockerel.
0:02:25 > 0:02:28A cockerel. That's right. Hen is female, and cockerel is male.
0:02:28 > 0:02:31What do you love most about the chickens?
0:02:31 > 0:02:34It's got, like, lots of feathers and they're really colourful.
0:02:34 > 0:02:36And I can pick them up.
0:02:36 > 0:02:38And I've noticed these beautiful wings.
0:02:38 > 0:02:40Does she ever fly round and round the school?
0:02:40 > 0:02:42No. The chickens are...
0:02:42 > 0:02:45a little bit good at flying but they're not that good at flying.
0:02:45 > 0:02:47They prefer to spend time on the ground.
0:02:47 > 0:02:49Carys, what's your favourite thing?
0:02:49 > 0:02:52I love that they chuckle out loud at me.
0:02:52 > 0:02:53What sounds do they make?
0:02:53 > 0:02:55Cluck, cluck! Bucaw!
0:02:55 > 0:02:57Boc-boc-boc!
0:02:57 > 0:02:58Nice work.
0:03:00 > 0:03:02So who looks after the chickens?
0:03:02 > 0:03:08It's usually all of the children and usually some of the teachers,
0:03:08 > 0:03:10- which is Fiona and Mr Jones.- OK.
0:03:10 > 0:03:13So there's always someone around to look after the chickens.
0:03:13 > 0:03:16You guys do a great job of looking after your chickens
0:03:16 > 0:03:18and I cannot wait to meet the rest of the flock.
0:03:18 > 0:03:20Ferne, can you give us some more facts
0:03:20 > 0:03:22about our fabulous feathered friends here?
0:03:22 > 0:03:24Of course, Rory.
0:03:25 > 0:03:29Chickens are the most common type of bird on earth.
0:03:31 > 0:03:33The males tend to be larger in size
0:03:33 > 0:03:36and more brightly coloured than the females.
0:03:38 > 0:03:43On average, a healthy hen will lay over 200 eggs a year.
0:03:43 > 0:03:45That's a lot of eggs.
0:03:48 > 0:03:51Chickens like to eat lots of different things,
0:03:51 > 0:03:53including worms, seeds,
0:03:53 > 0:03:58grains, fruit and vegetables.
0:04:14 > 0:04:17Wow! Here's all the chickens!
0:04:17 > 0:04:19We've got white grey chickens.
0:04:19 > 0:04:22We've got dark brown, light brown,
0:04:22 > 0:04:23we've got white,
0:04:23 > 0:04:26and we've got a bit of bluey-green.
0:04:26 > 0:04:29- They're amazing. And can you see the ginger ones in there as well?- Yeah.
0:04:29 > 0:04:30They're gorgeous.
0:04:30 > 0:04:32Look at them all pecking away in there.
0:04:32 > 0:04:36We were just about to go and clean the poo out of the chicken coop.
0:04:36 > 0:04:38- Would you like to help us? - I'd love to. Let's go.
0:04:40 > 0:04:42- Hello, chickens. - Hello, chickens.
0:04:42 > 0:04:44Hey, chooks.
0:04:49 > 0:04:51Right. What do we have to do first?
0:04:51 > 0:04:53- Take this out first. - Get the old stuff off first?
0:04:53 > 0:04:58First we get all of the dirty wood shavings off the coop.
0:04:58 > 0:04:59Sweep, sweep, sweep.
0:04:59 > 0:05:02Right, we've cleaned all that dirty stuff out. What now?
0:05:02 > 0:05:06We put the fresh dust in.
0:05:06 > 0:05:08Let's get to work, then.
0:05:08 > 0:05:10Nice and clean.
0:05:14 > 0:05:17Spread it out, that's it, good.
0:05:17 > 0:05:20So Mason, why is it important to have all this fresh bedding in here?
0:05:20 > 0:05:24- So it can be nice and cosy for the chickens to sleep.- Yeah.
0:05:27 > 0:05:30Just get it all over there.
0:05:30 > 0:05:32- Do you think they're going to find this cosy?- Yeah.
0:05:32 > 0:05:34OK, that looks nice, guys.
0:05:34 > 0:05:36Nice and cosy. Perfect.
0:05:36 > 0:05:38Right, what do we have to do next?
0:05:38 > 0:05:40Next we are going to feed the chickens,
0:05:40 > 0:05:42cos it's time for their dinner.
0:05:42 > 0:05:44Oh, dinner time for the chicks. Let's go.
0:05:48 > 0:05:52OK. Let's see what we've got here. OK, guys, load it up.
0:05:56 > 0:05:58Nice.
0:05:58 > 0:06:01- So what have we got here? What's this feed?- We've got pellets.
0:06:01 > 0:06:03Looks delicious. If you're a chicken.
0:06:05 > 0:06:09Chickens are very friendly birds and like to live in groups or flocks.
0:06:09 > 0:06:11And as you can see, this feeder is perfect for them
0:06:11 > 0:06:13because they can all get in there for a good feed.
0:06:14 > 0:06:17OK. Looks full. Let's put the lid on.
0:06:21 > 0:06:22What have we got here?
0:06:22 > 0:06:26We've got three containers which we'll fill up with water.
0:06:26 > 0:06:28Oh, perfect for the chickens to drink -
0:06:28 > 0:06:31and that's very important because chickens drink a lot
0:06:31 > 0:06:32and water is essential.
0:06:36 > 0:06:38OK, what next?
0:06:38 > 0:06:39We're going to collect the eggs.
0:06:39 > 0:06:42That sounds like an EGG-cellent idea.
0:06:42 > 0:06:43Let's go.
0:07:11 > 0:07:12Right.
0:07:12 > 0:07:15Let's see if we can find some eggs in here.
0:07:16 > 0:07:18Oh, excellent, Carys.
0:07:19 > 0:07:22Thank you. Lovely.
0:07:22 > 0:07:24Nice brown one. Any more?
0:07:25 > 0:07:27- Oh, well done.- Teamwork.
0:07:27 > 0:07:30- Thank you very much. - Teamwork.- Great teamwork.
0:07:37 > 0:07:38Wow!
0:07:38 > 0:07:40Look at all these eggs!
0:07:40 > 0:07:42How many did we get out of that?
0:07:42 > 0:07:43Four... Five.
0:07:43 > 0:07:46Five eggs in there. Wow.
0:07:46 > 0:07:49Mason, do you know how many eggs chickens lay each day?
0:07:49 > 0:07:51Just about one each day, I think.
0:07:51 > 0:07:53Yeah, that's right.
0:07:53 > 0:07:56Healthy, happy hens can lay up to one egg each day but that can change
0:07:56 > 0:07:58depending on the breed, their age,
0:07:58 > 0:08:01what they've been eating or even how they're feeling.
0:08:01 > 0:08:03I found a light one.
0:08:03 > 0:08:05Oh, that's lovely! Right, put that in there.
0:08:13 > 0:08:16- Oh, one egg.- Well done.
0:08:17 > 0:08:19- Great.- Done.
0:08:19 > 0:08:22Nice full basket of eggs. Let's go.
0:08:30 > 0:08:34Guys, your chickens are awesome. Look at all these eggs we collected.
0:08:34 > 0:08:36Amazing! How many eggs did they lay last month?
0:08:36 > 0:08:39Just about 2,000.
0:08:39 > 0:08:402,000 eggs?
0:08:40 > 0:08:42That is incredible.
0:08:42 > 0:08:45Just look at them, pecking away up there in their coop.
0:08:45 > 0:08:48- Do you ever wonder what they're thinking about?- Yeah.- Me too.
0:08:48 > 0:08:52If your chickens could do anything, what do you think they'd do?
0:08:57 > 0:09:00If our school chickens could go anywhere,
0:09:00 > 0:09:06they would jump onto the school bus and travel to the funfair.
0:09:06 > 0:09:09They would have a go on the teacup ride and eat pink candyfloss.
0:09:09 > 0:09:12Next they would go onto the big wheel
0:09:12 > 0:09:15and it would go round and round.
0:09:15 > 0:09:19They would make sure they were back in school for the home time bell.
0:09:19 > 0:09:20- BELL RINGS - Good chickens.
0:09:28 > 0:09:30OK, we've got all our lovely eggs, guys,
0:09:30 > 0:09:31what do we need to do next?
0:09:31 > 0:09:34We're going to pack them in these -
0:09:34 > 0:09:37seven in each, and we're going to sell them.
0:09:37 > 0:09:38And I'm going to stamp them
0:09:38 > 0:09:40and give them to you so they're ready for the shop.
0:09:40 > 0:09:42Perfect. And that stamp tells everyone
0:09:42 > 0:09:44- where these eggs have come from, doesn't it?- Yeah.
0:09:44 > 0:09:46Great, OK, let's get them ready, then. Let's go.
0:09:50 > 0:09:53Great work, guys. Doing well. Working hard.
0:09:57 > 0:09:58Guys, you keep going.
0:10:02 > 0:10:04So why are you putting the white and blue eggs on the outside there?
0:10:04 > 0:10:09We put the different colours on the outside because if you see this one,
0:10:09 > 0:10:11and we do it like this, we can't see it then,
0:10:11 > 0:10:13cos this sticker's covering it.
0:10:13 > 0:10:16And people like to see the blue and white eggs
0:10:16 > 0:10:20cos they're different to the other ones.
0:10:20 > 0:10:21Of course.
0:10:21 > 0:10:24Great, thank you. Well, that's the last package.
0:10:24 > 0:10:26And if I can close this over, do you know what that means?
0:10:27 > 0:10:29We're going to the shop. Who wants to go?
0:10:29 > 0:10:31CHILDREN: Yay!
0:10:39 > 0:10:41We've got our eggs ready to go to the shop.
0:10:41 > 0:10:42Better say goodbye to the chickens, guys.
0:10:42 > 0:10:44ALL: Bye!
0:10:46 > 0:10:48Better not drop these.
0:10:50 > 0:10:54- Hello.- Hello there, how are you?- Good, thank you.
0:10:54 > 0:10:55What have you got here, then?
0:10:55 > 0:10:57We've got some lovely eggs
0:10:57 > 0:10:59that have just been collected today.
0:10:59 > 0:11:01Oh, fantastic. They must be lovely and fresh, then.
0:11:01 > 0:11:03Thank you very much. Wow, look at those.
0:11:03 > 0:11:05- That's enough, guys, we'll close this over.- They're fantastic.
0:11:05 > 0:11:08- Pass that box to me and I'll put it on here.- OK.
0:11:10 > 0:11:12Right, shall we see if we can sell some of these eggs?
0:11:12 > 0:11:13CHILDREN: Yeah!
0:11:13 > 0:11:14Come on, then.
0:11:14 > 0:11:17Eggs, fresh eggs. Come and get some eggs.
0:11:17 > 0:11:20- Eggs!- Eggs! - Who would like some eggs?
0:11:20 > 0:11:22I would like some eggs.
0:11:22 > 0:11:23Thank you.
0:11:23 > 0:11:25They were just collected today.
0:11:25 > 0:11:27- Thank you very much.- You're welcome.
0:11:27 > 0:11:29Nice work. High five!
0:11:29 > 0:11:32- First sale.- Some San Sior eggs. Thank you very much,

0:11:33 > 0:11:35There we go.
0:11:35 > 0:11:38Eggs, eggs, who wants some lovely fresh eggs?
0:11:38 > 0:11:40Eggs, fresh eggs.

0:11:55 > 0:11:57Mary and all the rest of the chickens.
0:11:57 > 0:11:58Or, as they say in chicken...
0:11:58 > 0:12:01HE CLUCKS

0:12:03 > 0:12:05and thank you for helping us with the chickens.
0:12:05 > 0:12:09Oh, you're very welcome. How do you say "bye" in Welsh?
0:12:09 > 0:12:11CHILDREN: Hwyl fawr, Rory!
0:12:11 > 0:12:13Hwyl fawr!
0:12:16 > 0:12:20My pet and me!
0:12:21 > 0:12:23Hi, Ferne. Hi, Bagel.
0:12:23 > 0:12:25Hi, Rory. You look like you've had a great day,
0:12:25 > 0:12:26what have you been up to?
0:12:26 > 0:12:28Oh, Ferne, it was awesome.
0:12:28 > 0:12:30- I had so much fun with my new friends.- Oh, fantastic.
0:12:30 > 0:12:33Well, I've just been giving Bagel a little bit of a brush here.
0:12:33 > 0:12:35Yeah, she's looking great.
0:12:35 > 0:12:37- Thank you.- Pets are brilliant, but remember -
0:12:37 > 0:12:40you shouldn't touch an animal unless the owner says it's OK.
0:12:40 > 0:12:42But two pets you can definitely play with are ours -
0:12:42 > 0:12:45go on the CBeebies website and play the My Pet And Me game.
0:12:45 > 0:12:48Thanks for joining us. We hope you've had fun, too.

0:13:18 > 0:13:21- # You might have one - You might not
0:13:21 > 0:13:24# It's still fun finding out
0:13:24 > 0:13:28# What having a pet is all about
