The cooks have been roaming around the yard this morning, loving the freedom. They can be a bit of a pest coming onto the patio, they are easily shooed away.
We put a bird bath in their coop, thinking that they would like to get up high and perch on it, however we have discovered that they are pretty neat and tidy and do most of their poo in it each day. We collect the poo on a daily basis and it is added to the compost or the garden, we are getting approximately 1kg per week
I was surprised by how much that they can eat, they especially love leafy green vegetables, and seeded fruit - paw paw and capsicums.
They have settled in very well, and are producing on average 2 eggs per day, we have only purchased one dozen eggs since their arrival.
