Well today was the day!!

Went over to the Riddells Creek Farmers Market and picked up some local chooks.
These came from the Emu Farm in Gisborne and had started laying over the past couple of days.

The new girls are 22 weeks old and are already settled in!!

All ready to head home!!

The Chook Mahal is finished enough to house the chooks...

The nesting box is nice and comfy

Plenty of comfy bedding to cover the coop floor that will become a nice addition to compost bin soon.

Awesome Iceman!


They look very tame and you've done an exceptional job with their run.
