Our Chinese silkie school chickens started their lives here in our kura, hatching from an incubator during term 4, in November 2025. They have quickly become much-loved members of our school community.

Chickenstock 2026 – Poultry Athletics Competition

On the 23rd of May,  three of our silkie chickens (Potato, Waffles & Repekah) will be attending (and hopefully engaging) in Chicken Stock – a chicken athletics event!
If you would like to join us at Chicken Stock – further information and tickets are available here.

THE OFFICIAL CHICKENSTOCK LINE-UP

Waffles – 1.49kg
Unexpectedly disciplined.

Repekah – 1.28kg
Sat perfectly still. A future champion or deeply confused.

Potato – 1.20kg
Tiny. Dense. Emotionally powerful.

 

The seven official events of Chickenstock are:

🥚 The Egg Pull

A test of strength and determination as chickens attempt to pull a tray of eggs across the arena.

🐔 The High Jump

Chickens attempt increasingly difficult jumps until one remains victorious, confused, or both.

🌀 The Maze Run

Can chickens navigate a maze simple enough for a toddler?
The evidence so far suggests: maybe not.

🎀 Chicken Dressage

Precision movement. Elegance. Chaos.

⚪ Roundest Chicken

A celebration of spherical excellence. Only healthy chickens will be considered.

🏆 The Legendary Stair Climb

The marquee event. A 10-metre sprint, a stair challenge, then another sprint. The absolute peak of poultry athleticism.
