Fricken hate it. It also crows during the day sometimes.

Oh how I wish one of the neighbours cats got to it.

1167061 2011-01-05 22:56:00 When I decided to get chooks last year, my nearly 40 year old daughter asked "how will you get eggs if you don't have a rooster as well?". I said "Think about it..." "Ohhhh...." John H (8)
1167062 2011-01-06 01:14:00 In an urban environment you are allowed a maximum of 10 chooks and no roosters.

Which is why I had to deal to 2 this week, we started with 2 bantams got some fertilised eggs from sis in law and put under the broody hen. When they hatched SWMBO gave them all girls names and then last week 2 started crowing at 6.30 in the morning

1167064 2011-01-06 02:19:00 Yep Greg we have Bantams they have more personality than full size chickens gary67 (56)

At least she is keeping up with the family brilliance.

:lol: :lol:


Looks like this foxy isn't going to be in charge of a hen house. The Boss says I can't have chooks as the section is too small and they make too much mess. :(

We used to have chooks when I was two and I always used to shoo them off their nests to see if they had laid any eggs. They weren't terribly impressed with this so took to roosting and laying their eggs up high in the macrocarpa trees. Scrambled eggs anyone? :p

Soon after that roast chicken was on the Sunday lunch menu. :rolleyes:
