chickens

Brin from Ngaruawahia

Got a tad of a problem, we have four chickens, couple of years old.
They have gone into retirement in green lawns, gardens when they escape and food on tap whenever they want a peck or two.
Any form of activity which would mean the demise of the birds is not on my wife's agenda plus being Brown Shavers the energy wasted in catching the birds would far outweigh the gains in chicken stock, even if the feathers were left on.
To overcome the eggless situation it has been suggested that the best method is to heave a rooster into the chook run stand back and watch the circus
They are not allowed in town, but perhaps a day time visit from one might escape the attention from council
Pretty sure we can return the bird in a worn out condition
Cheers

Some Choice News!

Kia pai from Sharing the Good Stuff

Many New Zealand gardens aren’t seeing as many monarch butterflies fluttering around their swan plants and flower beds these days — the hungry Asian paper wasp has been taking its toll.

Thanks to people like Alan Baldick, who’s made it his mission to protect the monarch, his neighbours still get to enjoy these beautiful butterflies in their own backyards.

Thinking about planting something to invite more butterflies, bees, and birds into your garden?

Thanks for your mahi, Alan! We hope this brings a smile!
