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 🙂

Nothing beats a real free range chook egg.

The Egg corporation is trying to change the meaning of free range which currently means there can onlly be 1500 chooks in 1 hectare. Now my girls wander in .7 of a hectare (I think) and they have plenty of space but you wouldn't want too many more as they do damage the ground a little.

So the Egg corp want to change that to 20,000 chooks per hectare and to "keep them safe" they want to be able to debeak them. Now i'm wondering what the difference will then be between battery chooks and free range other than the free rangers will be out in the weather.

Fortunately, the QLD government has refused to acknowledge eggs from those chooks (if the move goes ahead) as free ranged. Hopefully all the other states will follow suit.
