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 🙂

Yah for erica!

Awww .. your first egg, that's always fantastic! 🙂

Your rooster is a light sussex like the baby boy I have here), although yours is possibly a bantam if it's not going to get bigger.

your rooster will crow at about 20 weeks I think ... about the same time he starts jumping on the girls.

Ohhh my husband's going to hate me lol

I put mine in the nesting area in a wooden box at night as he really crows very loudly from about midnight until 5am every morning. He still crows but it's harder to hear and it starts around 5am so I let him out then. I've been able to sleep the last couple of weeks.
