DDU / klarry

DDU can I ask you about your chooks? You do have chooks don't you?
Roughly what sort of cage do you have i.e. wooden? How many chooks & what/how much do you feed them? I searched chook houses on ebay, do you suggest a good one?


Klarry what is needed to fox proof a chook house? We were thinking wire underneath and perhaps sleepers too? Are snakes & rats a problem?


Any information would be good ๐Ÿ™‚

Are you saying that Mr. Billy Crow has been doing more than learning to crow??

I didn't think he'd be up for that sort of thing yet, I mean his voice has just started to break now!!

Surely he's too young?

Clair, I hope you've got some chicken chastity belts on hand!

panda did you eat your egg yet?

Yep, have had one from her every day since she started laying ๐Ÿ™‚ Her first was made into the most incredibly light sponge cake!

Re: DDU / klarry

DDU do you know about this, the chicken man told me to mark the eggs he gave me so I can keep collecting the other newly laid eggs - the ones that are not marked.

Then I thought he said 'any sat on for more than 4 hours I couldn't eat' or something? Is that correct? Because little debil Edwina keeps scooping Erica's eggs underneath her and I just got home so it would have been sat on all day? They are really hot underneath her.

Would that egg that was laid this morning yet sat on all day still be ok?

No soul the man gave me 5 eggs for Edwina to sit on because she was broody :|:_|

That's great panda ๐Ÿ˜„

Re: DDU / klarry

I just googled, found BackYardChickens Forum, found the exact same question they say it's ok to eat them ?:|

Clair, you're making me think you need to go to Unibersity to rare chooks. I say knock their heads off and get a cat.

Well I took the little itch back to the man cause I thought she was eggbound, he turned her upside down, saw she was full of food and no eggbound eggs then dropped her on the ground and said look, she's eating ๐Ÿ˜

Poked her in the back and said she's just clucky, was onver an hour round trip ๐Ÿ˜

Clair, if she keeps this up she's going to have you in the funny farm, and I don't mean with chooks and ducks. I mean the funny farm where some ex CW members live.

Stop fussing over her, she's just an attention seeker.
