Farmhouse Transports to Nursery Setting

In the city of Garbsen, an intriguing educational initiative is taking place, as ten kindergartens have been selected to participate in a chicken experience programme. This unique project, aimed at educational facilities, aims to teach children about the origin of eggs and offers interactive learning experiences.

The city of Garbsen is spearheading this initiative, providing each kindergarten with a chicken coop, fence, feed, and accessories, along with five tame Bantam Silk chickens. This year, ten Garbsen kindergartens are part of this programme, with the duration of the chicken experience at each kindergarten lasting two to three weeks, depending on the request.

The company "heylowi" is providing the rental hen mobiles in cooperation with the city of Garbsen, while the project is being realised in cooperation with Leihhuhn.de. The Environmental Officer of Garbsen, Randi Diestel, is overseeing the project and stated that the children are learning about responsible animal care.

One of the key aspects of the programme involves introducing live chickens to the kindergartens. The children have the opportunity to pick freshly laid eggs from the nest in the morning, providing a hands-on, engaging learning experience. The purpose of the initiative is not explicitly stated, but it is likely for educational or interactive purposes.

The initiative is being given away, suggesting it may not cost the kindergartens. Mayor Claudio Provenzano visited the Murmelstein Family Center, where a mobile chicken coop is currently located for three weeks, to witness the programme firsthand.

This unique initiative, which involves live animals in a kindergarten setting, is garnering attention for its innovative approach to education. While further details about the specific kindergartens and the timing of the initiative are not provided, it is clear that this is an exciting learning opportunity for the children of Garbsen.
