Poultry House
Ongoing
From late spring through fall, stop by the outdoor Poultry House to meet our feathered friends.
Say hello to our hens and roosters, among other poultry. Roosters are known as nature’s alarm clocks, but they can “cock-a-doodle-doo” pretty much any time of the day! Then, hop along to the neighbouring enclosure to meet the museum’s rabbits.
In the winter months, the Poultry House is closed and its animals can be found in our other barns.
Chickens
The average laying hen produces more than 270 eggs per year! Drop by the Poultry House to meet our roosters and hens. See if you can spot the Chantecler hens, a heritage Canadian breed with reddish brown colouring. Look for our eye-catching Silkie chicken with her fluffy white feathers. Meet our Serama chickens – the smallest breed of chicken in the world. A full-sized Serama rooster is no bigger than a pigeon!
Rabbits
Hop on over to meet the rabbits who call the museum home. See our Lionhead rabbit with his wool mane. Watch the massive Flemish Giant X Californian rabbits frolic and play. Plus, meet our Harlequin rabbit with her distinctive fur. These fluffy-tailed friends are among our visitor favourites!
