Thanks for the replies all. I was planning on constructing a lock-up for
them, but was concerned about cats getting at them during the day too. I guess I'll just have to see how they fare. Now to find a design :-) Joel peter wrote: "Joel Little" wrote in message u... G'day all, I'm contemplating getting a few chooks for my suburban Brisbane back yard. One of my concerns is whether the neighbourhood cats (not mine!!) will kill them? Has anyone had any experiences with cats killing chooks? Thanks Joel Hi Joel, Bloody great idea to put chooks in your yard. They are great to have around and are really easy to keep. Buid them something safe and warm to roost in and when they start laying you'll be so happy. We had six chooks that had the run of the place, (Brighton, Brisbane). We have five cats too. There was no problems. Our hunter cats even left them alone. It's not the same story for chicks though, they love em. It's a good fun exersis to get them as chicks and rear them for a month or so before putting them into the beautiful chook run you've made by then. I never locked my chooks up, but I rekon it's a great idea. I found a poultry news group that will be all to keen to help a newbie. sci.agriculture.poultry they are pretty friendly and know heaps. Have great fun Joel, you're doing the right thing. pete |
