We’ve had chooks for many years – in the heart of the city and on remote cattle properties on the Queensland/NT border – and we’ve kept them in every possible type of enclosure. Over the last few years we have had chook tractors. We’ve found this to be the best of all possible ways to keep chicken – and we’ve had them in the country and the city too.

Having made quite a few for friends who have all loved having fresh eggs, and after a bit of a nudge from my family, I’ve started making them for sale.

Here you'll find info about the chook tractors, eggs, recipes, looking after your chooks and so on.

Spaghetti Carbonara

One sure fire way to use up a surplus of eggs is to invite some friends for a dinner of spaghetti carbonara with pavlova for dessert.

I make pretty much everything in quantities for 10 -12 and this will feed at least that many.

1 kg good spaghetti
1 dozen home grown egg yolks
1 -2 cups grated parmesen cheese
about 500 ml single or double cream
800 gms bacon - chopped
1 chopped onion

Cook the spaghetti.  While it's cooking fry the bacon with the onion.  Then mix the egg yolks, cheese and cream in a bowl.

Drain the spaghetti and quickly return to the pot.  Add the bacon then pour over the egg yolk mixture and stir thoroughly.  Serve quickly with a garden salad.

Then make a very large 12 egg white pavlova and everyone will be happy!
