Not that I'm complaining. Things are producing well and I'm starting to fall into more of a routine now rather than buzzing round like a blue bottle. It's peak summer here and I'm getting now around 18 eggs a day from 21 chickens. I've never seen so many eggs pile up in my life. When I was away...
Hi everyone, I've been away for a while and now back in New Zealand on my beautiful cottage property again. I had to leave and nurse my dear old dad back in the u.k but all is well now and I'm back on track. My chooks are looking good after the kind help from neighbours who have kept and eye on...
Hi everyone,
I wanted to stop by and say hi as I've been off line for a few weeks after I went head to head with a tractor and lost!
I always enjoy catching up with the forum pages but have been unable to type. As you can see I'm O.K.now except my feelings are hurt from some devil of a person...
Now, for the third time since I moved into my new place, my chicken coop wire has been cut full length on purpose!! I have no idea why and I'm so angry. Last time I replaced it with heavy duty fence wire, you know the stuff I mean? Still they came back and cut again. If I knew the hens would be...

I have inherited a cottage, land and on top of it all a flock of chickens.
Their coop had been damaged and they have been wandering in the bush since . (I live in New Zealand) I have had the coop repaired now and have rounded up as many as I can manage. In the coop I'm told I have Minorca...

I'm sooooo new at chicken keeping but find I am loving it. I've taken over my grandfather's place and the coop had been damaged and the chickens taken off. I'm down here in New Zealand so we have no predators that could harm them and today I found this group around by the vege patch.
I have no...
Hello everyone.
You have no idea how glad I am to have found you and yet I have traveled half way round the world to do so! My grandfather has left me a cottage and land here in New Zealand and I arrived about three weeks ago. My main concern is the wonderful pig I was introduced to yesterday...
