brgaark!!!

guess what im getting?

chickens! for a long time ive wanted to get chickens to be part of my sustainable life goal, for their eggs, manure, bug eating etc but put it in the 'one day' basket. the lady next door has recently got chickens which prompted me to look into chichen housing on the internet and ive come across plent of small portable homes, which are far more practical for me at the moment than the big permanent concrete chook shed that i had envisioned.

i found a few different companies that sell chook 'tractors' but decided on a small buisiness in sydney run by a guy who knocks up 'eco coops' out of recycled materials where possible, including old pram wheels and marine ply from old kitchen cupboard doors(http://www.rentachook.com.au/). he makes chicken coops to encourage people to keep chickens because their an enviromentaly sustainable pet. not only is it as enviro friendly as possible, the guys really entertaining. minutes after emailing him i answerd the phone to hear a 'brgaark' hed called to clear up a few details and see if i had any chook questions or did i need help finding chooks to buy in my area. im realy glad i chose to buy from him because its such a positive buisiness that im happy to support
so, in a few weeks i will have some featherd friends. whats also exciting is that i wont need to be conned 10 times a day into lifting up little girls to see and feed the chickes over the fence! my back will be loving it and our bellies will be loving fresh organic eggs
