Chicken Packages

Back yard chickens are a win-win, and there is nothing like a few chickens in your back yard to increase the amount of food you can grow.  It's not just the eggs and the wonderful company, but the free fertiliser and pest-control services that mean chickens boost your urban farm status up many levels.  And you can offer some chooks a great life, far away from the cruel conditions of overcrowded barns or cages.

"Which will it be? Chooks or fruit trees? I mean, I've only got so much room out there..."

The answer, our friends, is to have both.  Chooks and orchard systems are completely complimentary.  Chooks suppress grass, provide pest control and fertilise your orchard, while the orchard provides your chooks with shelter and all the excess fruit you don't eat.  Contact us to find out how you can save by having your orchard and chooks installed as a single integrated system supplying eggs, fruit and immense satisfaction.

If you are not sure about the best way to organise your yard, and need design assistance in siting and organising your system - we can come and perform an initial design consultancy to make sure you get the most out of your system.
