I'd mentioned it to DP before, about getting some chooks and he didn't really seem interested.
But, now he's all for it. I've been looking into it and found some chicken coop designs that a mate of our is happy to help make.
Our cat, as much as we love him, might not be around much longer.... he is always getting on the bench and we've nearly had enough.

The local hardware store sells chooks occationally (weird, I know). Pullets?? Is that a type of chook? I dont know much about chooks.
Dont want something that's noisy, cause we have a neighbour. But, they have a beautiful veggie garden so I'm sure I could give them manure to keep them happy.
