Just stumbled upon this page! Hello kiwis, I grew up in chch but recently made the move to bluff.... but it means i can have heaps of chooks! my to bantams just hatched 8 adorable chicks, I have 3 awesome ex-battery hens (i encourage everyone to buy some from the layer farms the become great hens when they recover) and OEG Roo and a bunch of barnyard mutts! Im glad lots kiwis are getting into this site its sooo helpful!
Congrats on those little CUTIES black chicks are so darling
It's a great site to meet like minded friends. Welcome. It sounds like you've got quite a bunch of chooks down there. My four girls are still too young to be laying yet but I'm spending as much time as I can, in between work and chores, to acquaint myself with them. They've got real personalities and seem to look forward to all my visits every day. I don't know much about raising chickens so I'm learning as I go along. Hopefully, they'll point me in the right direction if I veer off course at all.
Chickens are geat! The Shavers/Hylines are the best one of mine didn't even stop laying in winter and they seem like they are hardy birds! when i first moved to bluff I was a city girl and had never even thought of chocks until my old neighbor ask if a wanted a roo and hen (she was gonna eat them!) so I snapped them up and now I wouldn't even want a dog chooks are so great! Welcome to you too this is the best place to learn
Hi OrpyHello there
Glad you found this threadSound like you've got yourself a big flock too. I've not yet had any ex-battery hens in my flock, but today I 'rescued' 3 Pekin bantams from death, the lady who owned them was trimming her flock numbers down, and they were just too cute to leave behind.
My little babies are doing well too, more and more feathers popping out all over them
