This year’s Small Farms Field Day is extending an invitation to all chicken enthusiasts to join in and become an exhibitor/speaker at the Malanda Showgrounds on Saturday November 8th .  The survey at the end of last year’s field day revealed a number of the public asked for more information about keeping chooks in their backyard.

The theme for the Small Farms Field day is “Big on everything Country” and this has to include the humble yet profoundly productive chook. As more people are turning to growing their own produce keeping livestock, including chickens can be quite baffling for the novice.

“What type of chook should I get for my small farm?”

“How do I keep them safe from snakes, dingoes and the family pet?”

“ What food is best to produce that delicious ‘Golden Egg?”

So many questions pop up when the decision is made to add chickens to the list of home grown food supplies.

So for those chicken experts out there who can share their knowledge and wisdom with either a stall or and be a guest speaker.  Organisers send out and warm invitation to you all.
