You get to try before you buy and then you can convince hubby how good they are - it worked on mine! <BR/><BR/>I think there is something similar in Brisbane too but not sure about other places.greenfumbhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08157970942128503098noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26903703.post-70069934687228157042008-10-27T16:21:00.000+11:002008-10-27T16:21:00.000+11:00hey Megan they are called chook tractors, & im...hey Megan they are called chook tractors, & im sure if you only get a couple it would be fine. tell hubby how they will eat all your veggie scraps & supply you with fresh eggs for his sunday breakfast.Nicole and Andrewhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07463146316953697505noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26903703.post-62322044468340495092008-10-26T19:21:00.000+11:002008-10-26T19:21:00.000+11:00I'd love to have some chooks here in the inner cit...I'd love to have some chooks here in the inner city. My farmer brother thinks there is a mobile chicken coop you can buy to wheel around on the lawn. Wonder (a) if they exist and (b) if my local council would allow it.<BR/><BR/>Actually, the main hurdle would be my hubby!Meganhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09149904992530471884noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26903703.post-85415028922416952892008-10-26T10:24:00.000+11:002008-10-26T10:24:00.000+11:00oh - little darlings!!!

Once they get used to the in/out routine they'll be fine. One of ours didn't come out for three months and now she is confident. Lovely little things.Jacquelinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09467803584504473036noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26903703.post-45358095934200299252008-10-25T22:10:00.000+11:002008-10-25T22:10:00.000+11:00So excited to see all your hard efforts being put ...So excited to see all your hard efforts being put to use! That chook shed is a dream and the run is so big. They're going to love it there.<BR/><BR/>I find the best way to catch chooks is with at least 1 if not 2 other people. We corral ours like sheep. Spread our arms low and wide, then gradually move in until they're pressed against one wall.<BR/><BR/>You can generally pick them off one by one then. But I've only done that with older chooks - not the littlies.<BR/><BR/>Glad they're all settling in for you.Chris https://www.blogger.com/profile/13715819899708384147noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26903703.post-42885711694820253652008-10-25T21:57:00.000+11:002008-10-25T21:57:00.000+11:00Wow, what a fabulous chook house.I love it!Wow, what a fabulous chook house.<BR/>I love it!Lucy Chttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06627668227610253358noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26903703.post-83713332639464921282008-10-25T21:08:00.000+11:002008-10-25T21:08:00.000+11:00Oh aren't they cute!I understand what you mean abo...Oh aren't they cute!<BR/>I understand what you mean about chooks being so hard to 'round up' our new ones take at least 15mins to chase into the house. <BR/>Your girls are so tiny!
