If anyone knows anything about it I would appreciate the piece back. Alternatively, as I don't think I will be able to repair it myself. Does anyone know someone who might be able to help me? The post part is concreted into the ground so I would need it repaired on site. The sign was inside thankfully. Grateful for any help thank you!

Hi neighbours,

Chicken is a popular dish for many Kiwi families. But are you happy to pay the extra cost for free-range or organic chicken? If so, why do you fork out extra for it? Although buying free-range chicken might be an ethical choice for many, it's not necessarily any healthier than other chicken.

As part of a new Stuff series, we look at why chicken is so cheap to buy nowadays, what happens inside the barn, why chickens get so big and the use of antibiotics in chicken feed. To learn more about what happens to your chicken before you put it in your shopping trolley, click the links above.
