Liz Holstein, above, from Casey Farm, holds a Dominique chicken named Henrietta last Thursday at the North Road library as Emily Gerla, 6, pets the animal. The species is considered to be the oldest American chicken breed. Along with showcasing live chickens, “Project Chick” featured a slideshow on chicken development and behavior by the educator from the Saunderstown farm.
Among the children who were up close and personal with newborn chicks included, clockwise from right, Timothy Horr, 11, Harry Graves, 7, and Masyn Snider, 8, and Caelan McCarthy, 7.
