Well, whangarei insn't as warm as california, but sure is better than auckland. There's heaps of farms in " fong-ar-ay" hehehe, and you can keep many chickens. I already know of a few silkie chickens breeders there, and buy most poultry from locals there too. It's a nice place.
There's a poultry show in Whangarei NZ in may. Its coming up soon. Does anybody know it or is going to it? So far I havent seen anyone on here from NZ.
