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 🙂

No not the one in the garage, but don't you have to put chicks under a heated light? I wouldn't know what to do with chicks?

A heated light is for incubator chicks that aren't hatched under a mummy chook.

Apparently, as long as they have a mummy chook, they hang around her, come when she calls etc and she keep them warm under her wings at night.

OMG how cute!

None of them have laid for a few days OR I can't find where they're laying otherwise I would put a couple under her!

Last time I did that though, earlier on in this thread all I ended up with was rotten eggs 😐

Were the eggs fertile?

[clair.de.lune]

I'm not sure, the chicken man gave them to me, he said they were.

He said a couple were guinea fowl eggs as well

Nice chookens, hope you get lots of little ones running around soon.  I'm sure they will be fertile with that hunk andrew parrish strutting around !!  The girls will be lining up LOL

How is your new home ?  Good to be on some land again ?

[clair.de.lune]

Hi soul! Yep great to be in the country again, great to be home again. How are you? Keeping well I hope? Not upsetting the butterfly person? She's been upsetting everybody esle the last two weeks.

Hey annie the little chook laid and egg this morning so I stuffed it under mrs clucky hen :^O

The Anthony Persish rooster is always jumping that little chook but the egg had gone cold so I don't know? Anyhow she will think she's got something :^O
