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 🙂

I am too terrified of chickens to ever be comfortable with having 3 in my backyard.
My daughter has 6....... that can be my share.....

As long as you're getting the eggs .. it's more about not using battery or barn eggs than where they're housed. I supply all my mums eggs although I suspect she isn't too keen on the silkie eggs .. but she gets them anyway as we don't like to waste them

No eggs DDU/pnp but they're all safe & sound :^O

I'm trying to talk my husband into going back and buying a rooster today :^O there was a really cool grey stripey leapord feathered one :8} I want to wake up with C o c k-a-doodle-doo!!!

rofl .. you shouldn't need to pay for roosters .. unless there is a specific pretty one you want. I give them away in the local paper when I have them (and I suspect I have a bunch right now)

I wish you guys lived near me!

I have about 12very large chicken pens and heaps of laying boxes to get rid of.

The man who owned this house breed fancy chooks, some worth about $300:O
He puts them in shows etc.

your chookens are soo cute.

Oh, and the duck:-D
