Yeah nah... on the golden thing. He is an electorate MP meaning he has constituents to answer to in the current electoral cycle. He has blown it big time and there will be an electorate to answer to as well as his peers and his boss, Jacinda. This election cycle is going to be dominated by the current covid issues as we have an election this year and so one would expect things will move quickly for him when they do.

Agree there. Chooks attract vermin. Vermin attract snakes. It's a very old adage of a rule of nature.

They also attract foxes and rats.

My bother loses more chooks to foxes than anything else.

Same with us. If there is any possible way that anything can get in a chicken coop, the foxes let us know that night. A small gap, a little depression in the ground. We literally have to concrete or mesh the ground around anything that has chickens in it.

It's funny, we have this one dirty, scabby, feather ridden chicken you have ever seen in your life. We're not sure what the story with it is, but a fox can get in to the cage or coop, kill everything in sight, but it never touches this one particular chicken, and that chicken doesn't stop laying eggs. We're not sure yet if even foxes have standards or if its throwing the other chickens to the foxes.

Chook is a Christmas dinner to pythons, big goannas and other feral pests.

Have to agree. I didn't have horses, dogs or chooks, I have an older brother but he's an idiot. Our house backed on to bush that went down to a creek. You wouldn't see me until lunch sometimes dinner. As long as I was back before dark. Youth today can't entertain themselves without electronics, and they certainly don't know what to do when you throw them outside, no imagination. Must admit that when we headed up the escarpment we had many square kilometres not just 5 acres.

I wasn't referring to you, Ray, in the first quote; but if the cap fits.....

You're not saying my missus is vermin, are you? She does like snakes though and has had them as pets in the past. Hmm .... you might be on to something. We won't metion that but will we.
