Ohhhh.... thank you... these sound lovely. I will be trying these, but how old is an old chook, and will these work with roosters? At the moment I want to keep the hens and just use the roosters.

Sort of like putting it in a light brine... I guess. Something to keep in mind anyway. Thanks. : )

Ahhhh.... I've just bought a 'solar oven'.. which means that it will take all day to cook a chook. Sounds like the perfect way to go. Thanks for those suggestions.... but... what brining... must be an americian term. : )

I'm not sure if that's what he is, but I'll go with the three months as no matter what they are, they should be tender at that age.... right? : ) Ohhh... yes... and maybe not wait for my 'big softy' of a husband to do the 'deed'. hehehe

They are just X's I think. Rooster is a white sussex .... maybe and mum could be the white sussex and maybe the brown 'hatchery' ones. Who knows...: ) Yes.. I know just what you mean, as that's what he was like. : )

We are going to make an enclosed pen for them as they are scratching up all the mulch I'm putting around the trees. Not only that, here in Australia we have a 'quoil' which it's local name is 'spotted cat'. It can climb trees and really make a mess if it gets into the chicken pen. I live down in...

Don't know. A friend gave me a couple of white ones to start me off and then when my son was housesitting at the begining of the year, he got two brown ones from an egg farm. It looks like the other chickens may be two whites, a yellow one and a brown on. The little one I'm looking after is a...

Thank you Mahonri, I would have never thought to put it back when the rest were asleep. Two roos??? You have roo's in Arizona?

Thank you for your quick answer. Thank goodness it,s summer down here as I'm on solar and wouldn't normally run a lamp all night. It's not drinking yet... I don't want to force it.... when do you think it should?

mumma hen hatched four chicks, the last one three days ago. I left the other two eggs there just incase. This morning I found that one off the eggs had been broken..like she had tried to help the chicken. The membrane was like leather and the chicken couldn't get out. I very carefully cut open...
