So, I went to a country market at Gordonvale, 20 mins from Cairns city, yesterday and found out about chooks from a young, dedicated chook bloke. I learnt probably more than I will ever want
to know about chook sexing. I do now know that most types of chooks can
hang out together – no matter creed or colour – lesson for the mankind there and
that they must have a perch to sit on as they like to contemplate their world.
Fair enough. That sounds like something I would do. I made a mental note to
knock up a perch when I got home. I also know that I bought two golden something
or other chooks and a black speckled Hamburg
and all will lay in approx two months. I found out they’re very placid
creatures – somewhat a paradox to the budgie crew - and that they’re happy to
sit in a box in Verity, my car, with the radio on loud and they didn’t blink
when I stopped to take Verity through the laser car wash. So far they’re still
alive after a night in the new digs. See? I’m not completely useless.
