Hey everyone I'm from Australia, I'm not new to chickens but I had to give them up for a while due to personal situations, I'm just looking at getting some new ones and thought I should look at improving my current knowledge on chickens. I've always had free range chickens, kept purely for eggs, however this time I'm looking at mix purpose (egg and meat chickens) I've always feed them a mixture of chicken mix, veggie and fruit scraps, and tiger worms with a little shell grit for calcium boost if the chicken feed didn't have enough.
I grew up in rural Australia, so I've had a lot of interaction with a lot of different animals and chickens would have to be one of my favourite animals, they are so full of character. My favourite times watching them would be when they are chicks and learning to chase bugs and jump and miss them
The breed I'm looking at buying now is the Sussex chicken, apparently these are good for both eggs and meat, I've always had mixed breeds as we've always got them farmers we've known and none are into selective breeding.
I'm looking at a flock of 6 hens and 1 rooster, most people complain about roosters however I have never had an issue with them and I love when they crow.
How I found out about the site I was googling info and stumbled across it.
Other hobbies, include art, hunting, fishing, camping, gardening and so much more.
I have a hubby and 2 children with our third on it ways
I look forward to learning and contributing tothe community
