Meet our baby chicks!
Anticipation is high for the arrival of Speckled Sussex chickens at the Reserve this spring. As part of the sustainable land management strategy, these chickens will play a vital role in clearing an 800ft area within the Buxton Bird Marsh and Pollinator Meadow this summer. Until the chicks are old enough to safely forage in their special enclosure in the Meadow in June, they are being housed at the Sheep Sheds.
Visitors have four opportunities to learn more about these baby chicks and this Meadow management project from dedicated Staff and Volunteers. Please keep in mind that these are growing animals and should only be admired from afar, under supervision. For health and safety reasons, please do not touch the chicks!
The opportunity to see the chicks is included with your timed ticket admission; no separate registration is required.
