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 🙂

THE parents of a three-year-old boy watched in horror as a fox knocked their son to the ground and dragged him away after it got a hold of his leg.
The father of young Tom Harvey had to use a block of wood to fend off the fox, which remained detemined and “would not back off”.

David Harvey, of Sunnyside, near Tenterfield, said he and his wife, Jane, and family were at home watching a fox from their kitchen window on Monday night when their two older children, Sarah, 5, and Tom, 3, ran out to see the animal at closer range.

“We looked out the window and Tom was being dragged by this fox,” Mr Harvey said.

“I followed straight out, but the fox wouldn’t back off – he wanted Tom.

“I got hold of Tom and was trying to keep the fox away from him. He was a mess.

"The fox had bitten his leg to bring him down and grabbed onto his shoulder. He got a couple of punctures on both sides of his shoulder.”

I saw that. That is a real worry as clearly they are becoming bold. I also think it's another reason why we need to cull them all. I'm going to buy a fox trap when I get home and start removing the ones around where I am.

There are plenty around. I mostly see them as road kill, regularly

This chicken now grown up has thin egg shells and the eggs just keep breaking. I give them shell grit any suggestions?
