The little fellas
The 3 little english game hens, as seen in the foreground, are cute little midgets and the rooster has a hilarious crow...
Also in the mix, 2 bantams and a lavender arikana.

Somewhat free range
By covering the bays along the sheltered side of the old piggery that is their home we have succeed in providing a relatively large space with little hope of escape.
Concentrated chook action combined with food scraps, cut grass and other organic material is a great recipe for rapid composting.

Conquering Clucky Chooks
For the past several weeks, our chooks had been clucky....sitting on either one egg, or sometimes no eggs at all. They just sat in the nest boxes and stubbornly wouldn't leave the nest. We tried putting them in a clucky box for a few days, but this did not work. As soon as they came out, they would go straight back on the nest.
But a bit by accident, we discovered a technique that worked really well to take the cluckiness out of the chook!

Mouse trappin'
I've lost count of how many we (and the cat) have caught. I have even witnessed the chooks chase down and eat a couple that I disturbed in a grass pile.
