Roosters for a good home available

Peter from Te Puna

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… View moreMany 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.

This National Volunteer Week, we’re recognising all the amazing volunteers who form the backbone of emergency response in Aotearoa and support their communites every day.
THANK YOU, VOLUNTEERS!
When Aotearoa faces challenging times, Kiwis always step up to support people in need. Volunteers are instrumental in ensuring that we get through, together.

“Every day, a network of 11,000 Red Cross volunteers and members across the country help us respond to disasters, settle new Kiwis, help run our shops, deliver Meals on Wheels, teach former refugees how to drive, sew curtains for families in need, and so much more. Last financial year, Red Cross volunteers gave close to 120,000 hours of their time. They are the hands and feet of almost everything we accomplish,” says Niamh Lawless, our Secretary General.
