Creature Feature event sponsored by Earth Fare
Saturday, January 16, 10:00 a.m. – 1:00 p.m.
Charlotte, NC – Why did the chicken cross the road? To get to Charlotte Nature Museum’s Chicken Day, of course! Bring your little chick-a-dees to this month’s Creature Feature event at Charlotte Nature Museum on Saturday, January 16 from 10:00 a.m. – 1:00 p.m. for some fine feathered fun.
Get beak-to-beak with one of the country’s most popular domesticated birds, the chicken. Meet a Rhode Island Red (Gallus gallus domesticus) who hails from New England and lays brown eggs and the exotic Araucana (Gallus sp.) who originated in South America and lays blue eggs. Explore the chick life cycle with a special craft and gather round for some chick-lit story time. Puppet shows will run throughout the day and snacks will be provided (while supplies last).
