    Funniest Things A City Slicker Has Ever Said To You?

    Oh and another one; My cousin was looking after the chickens whilst we were away on our yacht for the weekend. Being a pretty capable 20 year old who has seen all the chooks, cats and such before, we assumed he would be alright. He also works for our neighbour down the road, so when he came...

    Winterizing The Coop!?

    From my inexperienced NZ perspective, I'd go with the insulation; generally when people are trying to keep a (people) house warm they either go overboard with heaters, (which I would suspect are the equivalent of heat lamps?) or they go for insulation...we recently insulated the house which has...

    Clipping wings

    I clipped my chooks' wings...on both sides! I think theres an article in the learning centre about clipping their wings, but the thing I do is grip the corner of one of their wings, then chop off all the flight feathers about 5cms up. If they dont like having their wings handled, wrap them in a...
