Hi Chicken Lovers - from waydown here in WRC territory - NZ

HI Everyone

Chris here. Have been wanting to build a Hen house for years and finally have done not one but 2. SOld the first as a prototype and then enjoyed trying a different desgn, this time with the "girls" ;D
We are an Urban 'farmer' and in our city the bylaws say we can have upto 6 at the moment we only have 3 but my wify would like a few more. Our girls are Brown Shavers. They were set free from a battery Hen complex after a few years for them and were looking pretty lean and lost all feathers around the neck (as feeding in troughs through the cages).
They are very quiet and friendly with all the visitors we have.
I popped in here to check out the watering ideas as ... you know they walk in everything and adapted a 10ltr Paint bucket and found someone selling drinking nipples on "trademe" Auctions here. Very pleased with it and they are happy too.

So from time to time will drop in and see what we can learn as well.

Bye for now.

Chris

I love silkys - the first time I saw them they reminded me of miniature cowboys or is that cowgirls? ;D

Cheers
