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 I got given some last year and the stupid hen sat on them for weeks and all I got was rotten eggs.

I get that sometimes too .... but I also have an incubator (when the FIL gives it back).

I had a broody chook sitting on eggs, I took her to the nursery but then she stopped sitting on them 😞

Oh Clare, please lets have some pity for the poor chickie!
She sat for weeks and didn't get any babies..
She wasn't to know they wouldn't hatch.

Hey guys, would putting a clutch of plastic eggs in the coop encourage one of the chookies to get clucky????
(hopefully thinking here)

No a house, we're moving into the town for a while and won't be able to take mr rooster and I'm a bit sad about tht but seeing as he's starts crowing 4:30am some mornings it's a bit hard 😞

[clair.de.lune]

Oh can I leave the dog behind can I, can I, can I?

I'll send the little yapper.. I mean I'll send the little darling to you :-x

Sooo, what is the house like and what made you decide to buy?

I get leaving mr rooster behind but hope you're taking your chookens?

Will you have neighbours you can see ? or is it still on a bit of land?
