Great site for finding poultry for sale (sometimes free) in Australia

Hmmm, now just have to decide what breed...

I did a bit of research before I got my chooks found that Australorps or Transylanivan Naked Necks would be the best using the following criteria:

1. Self brood so no need for an incubator
2. Large size for meat production
3. Good layers even in the Australian Heat

I chose the Australorp because they are Australian and the naked necks would probably give the kids nightmares

I wonder if the naked neck is to make it easier for all the vampires in Transylvania :shock:

Excuse my ignorance Jaymie - what is FIL ?

And EB is right - the Trans Naked is a damn ugly chook ! Probably taste pretty good though !!

If I had to be a chook that's what i'd want to be

Wow, that wa poultry trader has quite a bit...

Shame most people are trying to flog off their Australorp roosters, not hens.

That means you're already thinking two steps ahead of that statement.
