I missed week two of Complete Urban Farmer as I was at the ABaF Arts Business workshop. Session 2 was on chook care which I definately need to learn more about seeing as two of my housemates are chickens "Betsy & Hen". Luckily I have been given these handy notes (made for the School holiday kids workshops at Ceres).
Points which are important to note (as in "note to self")
* Chooks need clean containers of clean cold water kept out of the sun and filled every day
* Chooks don't like loud noises or dirty laying boxes, to be hungry or thirsty or chased
* They like it when you move a rock and will rush over to check if there are any grubs or bugs underneath
* They like to talk to you and watch what you are doing
* They need lots of love and gentle care and for their house to be shut safely at night to keep foxes out.
