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.
