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 🙂

They want to debeak them DDU?

Yes. When they are in confined spaces (such as battery and barn chooks) they tend to peck out at the chooks beside them. They debeak them to stop that happening. This clearly shows that they want to put too many of them in the paddock and they know it.

This might sound silly, but, how do they eat without their beaks??
