Chickens

We have new additions to our whanau (family). We acquired 4 chickens from our local farm store. These are named Mike, Rik, Vyvyan and Neil - who recognizes their names? I'll give you a clue....they are from an early 1980s British comedy series.



This is their coop, right next to the vege garden but this is temporary as we are going to put a wire roof over their running area to keep pests out. So far we are getting 2 to 3 eggs per day - eggs are very very expensive here. For a dozen it costs roughly $9 nzd.

Love your hens, names and set up. Glad they're laying and providing you with eggs. Gosh they are expensive in NZ now

The chickens look so feisty from the photo. They are lucky to have such a nice dwelling to live in

...Mike and Neil are chickens?

Very cool names, though I don't know the series you're referring to. Yes to fresh eggs! Here the avian flu has affected the prices of eggs as many chickens in the industry have been killed.

Nice purchase, unfortunately we don't have room for it in the garden.
