Orono Weekly Times, Wednesday, June 8, 1988-3 No need for mother hen When Shelley Allin of Allinbrook Farms, placed an advertisement in the Times earlier this year for day- old chicks it kindled an urge to get back into the chicken business, something I haven't been in for the past three years It's just that I like something living living in the old chicken house and enjoy enjoy seeing them around the backyard picking away at the grass and insects and as well possibly some of the flowers. I had to use Alf Johnson, our neighbour to the north, as part of 'the excuse when 1 approached the subject to Donna. Possibly Donna's right when she says 1 don't have time but then one makes time for those things they like to do. And as far as Alf is concerned he enjoys chickens having lived a good part of his life on the farm and the crowing of the roosters is quite "■'miliar. Anyways the day-old chicks arrived arrived some four weeks ago and were housed in the basement of the printing printing shop for a few days or at least until I started getting complaints. They were then moved to the hen house and are about ready to venture venture out into the run on sunny days. The venture to date has been successful successful with fifteen arriving and fifteen fifteen still running around. Its the first time I have had chicks from a hatchery as in the past they have been hatched with a brood hen who took over all duties raising the young brood. It was the hen that took them to the drinking fountain and left beads of water on the floor and she would also call them to a find of food. With this background I had wondered just how the hatchery chicks would fair without the guidance pf mother hem Of course it meant a heat lamp to provide heat for the chicks but this seen id to he the only things that had Great re-union event at Clarke High School (Continued from page 1) which were prepared by Kerry Hester and Wayne Kennedy. These pictures, located in the main hall are permanent and were paid for through the registration fees. A scrapbook of all Clarke happenings happenings and such which have made the paper was prepared by Don Winston and is now located in the school library. Thanks to the Orono Times for allowing the committee to sort through old papers in the office. Also thanks to the Northumberland and Newcastle Board of Education for lamenating the scrapbook so that it may be kept for many years. For former Clarke athletes there was a chance to see this year's senior boys' and girls' volleyball teams demonstrate their skills. Saturday afternoon the Opening Ceremonies took place with John Amesbury being the Master of Ceremonies and A1 Witherspoon, long term principal of Clarke, made a brief speech. Also making comments comments and showing their congratulations congratulations were Hugh tTubbs,. Don Dawson, Sid Rutherford, Grant Yeo, Carlos Tamblyn, Mayor John Winters, and MPP Sam Cureatz. A presentation was made by the 'Anniversary Committee to Rick Essex in appreciation for all the work he has done on the yearbook. Presentations were also made to John Amesbury, Lyn Lowery and Ron Wells who have been with the school since it's opening 25 years ago. These presentations were made by Hugh Hubbs on behalf of Clarke High School. The dinner and dance Saturday night at Orono Arena, had a good turn out of over 600 people. The Master of Ceremonies for the dinner dinner was Doug Barrabali and • a presentation was made, by the 25t:h Anniversary Committee to Ron Wells and A1 Witherspoon in ap- to be provided. The chicks soon found the water . fountain shortly after arriving and . jüst as quickly made for the food supply. Its apparent that instinct has a lot to do with their survival providing a heat source is present, The chicks soon learn where it is. A couple of weeks ago they all tore off around the pen in pursuit of an insect which they must have considered a delicacy. But at the same time some fluff and seed from the poplar trees was also floating around to which they were not attracted. attracted. They certainly knew the difference and again it had to be instinct instinct for there existed no lesson from a mother hen. And they as well dust bath just as do any chicken or hen and its a natural aspect of life for these motherless birds. In one way we have two environments environments here with results showing showing no difference, the only thing the chicks can't look after is heat. A good number of years back Ten Pears and I both tried to hatch pheasants under a broody hen and both of us had the same results. There was a good hatch of eggs under both hens but then the young pheasant chicks just disappeared shortly after they hatched. Its apparent they just scattered from the hen and likely due to the fact there was no line of communication communication as there is betvyeen a hen and her chicks. This however is not the case when a hen sits on duck eggs for she becomes a mother to the ducklings. Its all part of nature and its wonders. predation for all their work which helped to make the weekend a success. success. Mrs. Witherspoon presented the school with a painting by John- Boots of Mr. Witherspoon to replace the one in the library which has faded over the years. Bob Holmes welcomed everyone to the brunch held in the Orono Arena on Sunday. This was followed followed by an ecumenical service with Mark Charland being the Master of Ceremonies. Arnold' Mostert was the scripture reader and Jeff De- Jong gave an inspiring and touching message. The hymn's were accompanied accompanied by Rob Pollard and Mike Speziaie on guitars. The music prior to and after the church service was provided by Ed Hoad. Thanks to Wayne Kennedy who looked after the contacting of people people and'mailing of information and he also Organized the dinner, dance and brunch.
