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 🙂

?

Weed growing in vege patch. Plain grass, clovers etc. Chooks love them.

Our hens supply eggs for us. They stopped for a while when it was very cold but started again a week ago. They are nearly 4 years old but still going.

Home grown eggs are yummy 🙂

Thanks syrups I think I will persist, love to have eggs and might look into the silkies DDU was talking about because I'd need more

What breed do you have syrups?

[syrupsmummy]

I have 2 gigantic white sussex hens and a little red hen.





I don't know what breed the little red is. She is full grown in the picture. The sussex is huge.

We call two white ones Christmas dinner and Sunday roast. The little red hen is called Little Red.

The names were joke at the beginning but we still call them Christmas and Sunday for short.

They're gorgeous!

And my daughter and I want silky. They look so cute.

Local pet and farm supply shop lady have them but she doesn't sell them. She sells ordinary red hens. Silky lay eggs too. Just a bit small.

My husband looks after chickens. I look after our furballs and my parrot.
