Chickens (Chic's Mixed Breed)
Just wondering, if anyone would like some chickens, their a cross breed - You'll see in my photos, the Mum is a wee Campine Bantam, & the Dad is a Barred Rock Plymouth (Black & White one - Full Size). Babies are 5 weeks old at the moment, so should be ready to leave their Mum in about 3/4 weeks? I haven't sorted them from male / female as yet, will do shortly & advise the outcome (If I get it right :O ) (There is 7 Chicks in Total - I may keep 1), just thought I'd get ahead and let anyone know who may be interested. Looking at the colouring of the babies, think their going to be more like Dad?? still hard to tell, will be hard to tell how big they will grow being a cross breed. $25 per chick -They have been used to the outdoor environment. Will do a deal for two or more. will put more photos up later of the brood.

DOC is rolling out a new tool to help figure out what to tackle first when it comes to protecting our threatened species and the things putting them at risk.
Why does this matter? As Nikki Macdonald from The Post points out, we’re a country with around 4,400 threatened species. With limited time and funding, conservation has always meant making tough calls about what gets attention first.
For the first time, DOC has put real numbers around what it would take to do everything needed to properly safeguard our unique natural environment. The new BioInvest tool shows the scale of the challenge: 310,177 actions across 28,007 sites.
Now that we can see the full picture, it brings the big question into focus: how much do we, as Kiwis, truly value protecting nature — and what are we prepared to invest to make it happen?
We hope this brings a smile!
