I was going to ask you for an update on the Typhoon Peter.

Chickens:...recommend you raise the coop off the ground at least 12 inches, plus fit it with wire mesh small enough to keep rats and (larger) snakes out. Half inch by half inch max. Avoid draughts by fitting 'solid' sides where the birds will sleep.

The higher the better. Bear in mind that these birds actually roost high up in trees when left to their own devices in the province.

Thanks for the tips Graham

My dad raised lot of chickens but of course I never took the time to understand the details.
