Sign of the Kiwi Chickens need some shelter and food
Just past the SOTK live some chickens who have become refugees now that the bush they lived under was consumed by the flames.
They are lovely chickens, 3 female and one singed rooster, who are now camping under a tree, at the carpark where the summit road that goes past the SOTK takes a hard left.
We have been feeding them in their last abode for the past 6 months or so, but they are very exposed where they are now.
I think like any other refugees they would appreciate some sort of shelter, and some food if anyone would like to help them.
Its quite fun going up and giving them our scrap bowl, and some grain, maybe other Samaritans would like the outing as well.
BTW the Sign of the Kiwi and summit road seems totally open!
Poll: Do you think NZ should ban social media for youth?
The Australian Prime Minister has expressed plans to ban social media use for children.
This would make it illegal for under 16-year-olds to have accounts on platforms including TikTok, Instagram, Facebook and X.
Social media platforms would be tasked with ensuring children have no access (under-age children and their parents wouldn’t be penalised for breaching the age limit)
.
