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.

Which chooks should I get?

The possibilities are endless - and really depend on what you want from your chooks.

If you want lots of eggs then Australorp or Rhode Island Reds - or a hybrid - are your best bets.

But you could also make your chook tractor into a beauty contest and try out Aruacanas (they'll give blue eggs too) or Buff Orpingtons or try looking through this chart of different breeds to see which breed suits you best.
