OH bless his heart has know for a long time of my desire to have chooks, and through the pain of an arthritic knee has worked hard whilst i am at work and built me a chook house. A couple of nights ago i got home to find that he had dug post holes and concreted them in ready for the run. Tonight i got home to find half the wire up and tomorrow we are going to finish this and get the gates on. OH has promised me I can go get chooks next week. So lots of questions.....firstly food ...what do i feed them, and do i need to add supplements etc???Secondly bedding..what is best for the nest boxes?? thirdly... someone told me to lay lino on the floor of the house to aid cleaning..has anyone heard of this??and finally these chooks are for eggs and the pot so whats the best breed to get?? Any thing else you think i should know please let me know as this is all new to me..thanks
