Epping Road, North Ryde this morning 9-ish.

Yellow Moke with a sign on the side, towing a trailer that looked longer than the Moke itself. In the trailer there were 2 A-frame style rabbit/guinea pig hutches!!

That would be the 'Rent a chook' man, yellow moke with orange wheels, bars etc.
He was on a telly show (Do it Green, on 9) a while back.
Here's his web site but no moke photos just plenty of chooks

just found a link to the show with some shots of the Moke

Aaah! Chook houses, not rabbits!

...yeah, that's the one. I swear the trailer was longer than the moke - looked a bit odd!!

Have now been inspired to buy some chickens from this guy.

Have contacted Rent-a-Chook and am looking forward to getting a coop and 2 chickens as soon as possible.

Have worked out that it will take over a year for the chooks to pay for themselves in fresh eggs, but they live for quite a few years so as a long term investment i think it should be worth it as well as fun.

To be honset the main cost is the coop, I could probably make one myself for maybe half the cost but I just don't have the time at the moment.

I'll take pictures of the Moke when i get the delivery (assuming he's OK with that)

Buy a clubby mate and let the chooks live in that, much cheaper than buying a hutch.
Your place for an omelete soon then

Well, as luck would have it, the Rent-a-chook guys have been really busy and when they did our delivery it wasn't the guy with the Moke who brung us our chooks!! :( :( :(

He did have a 20 year old Suzuki Swift, but I didn;t think it merited a picture...

Here's a pic of the chooks though....their names are Schnitzel and Parmigiana:

...that's our first egg from Tuesday morning, and it was delicious :) :D :) :D

We used to have up to 20 chooks once - only one ever had a name - Supercook. Superchook was a lone surviver of a fox attack and had half her feathers ripped out of her back and they never grew back properly - but she gave an egg a day for the next 5 years without fail - never stopped during moulting or cold weather like the other chooks and out lived several other batches as well - hence SUPERCHOOK

Wow, that's cool. Ours have met our cats and seem to be chumming along with them with no problems, the chicken guy told us that he knew of other chook owners within a few kms of us that have had problems with foxes, so i guess it's a danger for us too.

So far, the younger one 'Parmigiana' has been the more reliable layer, good 58-60 gram eggs every day since Tuesday. Schnitzel laid a tiddler on Tuesday (26g), then nothing yesterday and a nice 59g one today.

It'll be difficult if we get used to regular eggs and then get a barren spell and have to go back to buying them

I never knew I could be so excited by what's coming out of a Chicken's arse every morning !!

I'm just glad they seem to have settled quickly and are happy to lay at all :)

My brother is into all of this kind of stuff and I told him about rent a chook, and he actually has worked with the owner before. I told him about the moke and he said that the guy previously owned a mini that he reshelled at one stage.

Mr Rent-a-chook is another BMC tragic. :)
