Chickens are a great way of getting rid of food scraps, AND making manure for your garden. And they are really cute! Make sure you work out who will look after the chickens before you get them. Food, water and shelter are important. We want happy chooks!
What sort of items do you need to construct the chickens pen? At the Millar Road Landfill, there are lots of second hand building materials for a good price which will extend your budget further. Let me know what you might need and I can put it aside if I see it.
What a great idea Kelly. Also, you might like to visit Dawesville Catholic Primary School and see their chooks. The students could teach you about how to care for them.
The kids at Dawseville have been looking after chooks for a while, so have lots of knowledge. It's so good when schools share information with each other.
