Chook Workshop
Everything you wanted to know about chooks, but were too afraid to ask. Chooks, chooks, chooks, probably the most valuable contributors in a Permaculture system - they are like what knees are to bees.
Chooks are multi functional. Yes they do more than provide eggs and scratch around. They are natures living mobile tractor and pest controllers. If you want an area cleaned up of weeds and residual pests, they are ideal.
A chook workshop was conducted by Vicky Gear at her Warnervale property. 19 participants joined in to learn how to introduce chooks into and manage them in a permaculture system.
Chooks can recycle kitchen scraps, they actually break down scraps and provide manure quicker than any other composting method. In one day and out the next - in the form of eggs and nitrogenous poo...beautiful.
