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 🙂

Well if she neglects her other babies I'm calling Ducs !

Yes very funny and I'm getting 2 eggs a day more than we can eat. I'm finding that people are scared of "real eggs" as we can't give them away

Really? I could give dozens away. Perhaps over time it will improve? Right now I have about 6 dozen but because we forgot to collect some for a couple of days and they're now mixed with the others I don't want to give them away just in case.

Do you have a rooster? You could always get an incubator and turn them into babies 🙂

I have about 6 dozen

Oh goodness we haven't got that much 😄

Yes I have a young rooster, not crowing yet, remember the coop too close to the house debacle :^O

Anyway won't be turning them into babies :_|

But we actually have 2 sussexs put away for us when they're older, I want 2 more but def. don't need the eggs.

I'm getting Aracauna's on the weekend .. they're the ones that lay blue eggs 🙂

[clair.de.lune]

Well we've had 2 sussex put away for us for ages when they get bigger, I really want them but we don't need the eggs and our coop is not big enough for 6

Unless my husband puts more laying shelves/perches B-)

And my husband keeps going on about blue eggs, blue eggs :_|
