Laying Hens at the point of lay
Hyline Chooks nearing the point of lay. These have been inoculated, checked and reared on fresh pasture in a mobile coop. They are quiet but very productive and eat a wide range of foods. Will be laying from 28th January onwards and will lay nearly 1 per day for two years. Price will increase by $1per week till they reach $35 at point of lay. If you think you may be interested, ring to place and order, 50 available, on Back Ormond Road
Happy to deliver in and around Gisborne and provide advice on feeding and health. Phone Paula 021 140 4667.

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)
