24 December 2010 - 9:27am — pmbadminKiwi chicks this weekend
6 December 2010 - 12:52pm — pmbadminOur kiwi chicks are just over two months old and continue to progress well. Most have moved out of the nursery and are in outdoor enclosures. Here they learn to forage, feed and fend for themselves.
This weekend - on both Saturday and Sunday at 2pm - you will be able to see one or two of the chicks as they are taken for weighing and checking. We not only have our chicks from our forest, but also some chicks from Rimutaka Forest. The opportunity to see chicks is so limited, we really hope you can make it.
