I don't actually live in New Zealand, but I have cousins that live in Kaitai (?) on the northern tip of the North Island
Hi there
I haven't yet been to Kaitaia myself, but I've heard it's lovely and warm - very tropical

Hello, I just joined. I'm an American living in Christchurch with my flock of five soon to be three. Roosters aren't the most welcome in city limits unfortunately.
I got them all as day old chicks, an assortment of breeds as well. We ended up with a heavy breed mixed hen who recently started to crow and now she seems to have given up on being a lady all together as she appears to be shedding her feathers for manlier ones. The other four ended up being bantams, two are some sort of game bantam I think and one of those is a rooster. My two I picked out both ended up being hens luckily and I have a purebred partridge Silkie and a purebred silver partridge Pekin. So we'll be down to one game bantam, the Silkie, and the Pekin and it seems like everyone in the family wants another silkie and another pekin because these girls we have now turned out beautifully in both looks and nature.
I wish I had a lifestyle block so I could keep them all, but land is hard to come by in ChCh these days and very expensive. DX
