Roosters for a good home available
Many years ago I talked to an indian orchard manager in Whangarei who was mentioning that roosters are great to have around to control weeds, grass and some insects so perhaps if you feel that may be something to consider on your orchard or farm, let me know. We have a few we are seeking a new home for from our free range organic lifestyle farm as we had quite a few new arrivals over the last few months from chicken laying in the bush and then coming up to join the feeding queue. If you can help to have one or more would be awesome. We do not want them killed or eaten but put to a new use on a different property.
Poll: Do you think NZ should ban social media for youth?
The Australian Prime Minister has expressed plans to ban social media use for children.
This would make it illegal for under 16-year-olds to have accounts on platforms including TikTok, Instagram, Facebook and X.
Social media platforms would be tasked with ensuring children have no access (under-age children and their parents wouldn’t be penalised for breaching the age limit)
.
