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 🙂

Gotta say I've never posted here before,

but I do love chooks, chickens and old boilers, love them all and


this is definitely a blue ribbon thread:^O

Can I just pop in and ask (as a new chicken owner) what is this Pollard/shell grit/canola stuff you mentioned and do I have to make it myself of can I buy it somewhere?

Love all the chicken pictures.

One more question... do you clip your chickens wings so they don't/can't fly?

We clip Manu's wings (quaker parrot) so she can't fly away but want to know if it is advisable to clip chickens wings.

TIA

Wow never saw this, we have one chook that lays soft shell eggs. We were told she's lacking calcium and to feed her shell grit. But she won't eat it. So we mix pollard, shell grit & canola seeds with water to try and entice her to eat the shell grit.

It's pointless really as she comes good for like a day then reverts to soft shelled eggs again. She needs her head chopped off but I don't have the heart to do it.

Also with wing clipping, I never bothered as the area they are in has a 6 1/2 foot high fence.
