Well, so far we've made two excursions across New Zealand's most beautiful and sparsely populated island (the southern one, that is) to the Remarkables Market near Queenstown.  It's always fun to get out, though some of us are more comfortable face-to-face than others.  And sometimes the weather cooperates more than others...last time we were slowed down by a rockfall which severely damaged the highway!  But it's a pretty good time, and if you want a good look at our latest hen house design this is a good place to do it!

The Remarkables Market...right next to the airport at the base of the Remarkables!

Lots of people of all ages take an interest in the latest development, the John Chook 6.0 chicken tractor. hen_house_shoppers_1

...yet one might think that the children loved the chooks just as much or more!  Finding an egg in the nest was a highlight!

"I just wanted to let you know how pleased we are with the Massey Featherson 6...We are now getting 5 eggs a day and the chickens seem very contented. They settled in straight away. The slatted floor is working out really well. To start with we put the chickens over the vege garden, then the front lawn. My husband is all keen to try them out on the grass grub patches around the farm." -- Jane, Pukerau
