This morning I filled the house with organic sugar cane mulch and set up the nesting boxes
I wanted it deep to keep my chooks warm
This area was dirt and since we are heading into winter I didn’t want my babies walking through mud
The site manager making sure I was doing a good job
So finally after a frustrating time on the iPad I found someone who could sell me six girls and a rooster all the same breed
So I rang hubby and off we went. They were an hour and a half away
The big black and white is the rooster and I’ve named him Pendles after my favourite footy player
They are Brahmas

You can read all about them here
They are a dual purpose chicken both laying well and growing well for meat
These won’t be meat. These are my breeders I’ll hopefully raise chicks. Sell the hens and fatten up the Roos for the freezer
But we shall see. I might just keep what I have and just eat the eggs
I’m very excited. Happy girl with her new chickens
Kalo riziko. Love the way the other livestock are all lined up watching them.
ReplyDeleteLots of happy chooks and a happy mum. Have fun
I noticed that after I posted. Everyone wants to get onto the blog lol
DeleteHow exciting. I have always fancied the idea of keeping chickens but have never had space. And I wouldn't know what to do with them when they stop laying.
ReplyDeleteI had chickens that laid for years. Unfortunately the foxes got them once my dog Molly got too old to chase them so it kinds took that decision out of my hands
