Free laying chickens

Maria from Takaro

UPDATE: we have had two offers for these chooks already, so thanks for your interest, but they have potentially been taken already!

Hi,
We have two chickens to go to a new home. They are about 2 and a half years old and laying about 10 eggs between them a week. One is a barnvelder (she has the gold feathering) and the other is an australorp (she's the dark colour, almost a paua shimmer in the light). They have never attempted to fly away and have never had their wings clipped. The barnevelder has a little sass and has pecked my kids once or twice, the australorp is a little shy and keeps out of your way. They are used to a backyard environment but i'm sure would adapt to having more friends around.
The little coop/moveable run in the background if free to you if you want it, but you don't have to take it. It was our first attempt and would probably need some modification to enable easier cleaning/access.
Feel free to ask any questions or come to see them.
Thanks,
Maria Donoghue

Kmart duvet recall

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

Kmart will be recalling a number of their Anko duvet sets.

What you need to know:
- The recall is involving Christmas-themed duvets: Mrs & Mrs Claus Reversible Queen Size Bed Quilt Cover Set and Christmas Elf Reversible Single Bed Quilt Cover Set
- A recall of the products began in Australia following health concerns from several families.
- One woman said she thought she was having a heart attack after using one of the products which smelt of diesel.
- One customer said she’d purchased the quilt covers and said they smelled like gas. Another mum said hers did not have that smell but claimed her son developed a rash that only went away when he stopped using the product.
- The product is no longer available for purchase on the Kmart website.

Regardless of whether you have experienced an issue, customers who have purchased this item may return the product to store for a refund.
