Just last week I blogged all about how well our chickens were going and how we have only had minimal deaths (3) right at the start.  Well … the next day when I went out to Willow Park, Chris, our head groundsman told me that 9 chickens had died during the previous weekend (whilst he was on his time off) … but due to his quick thinking he gave them all some muthi (medicine) and they  are all back to 100% health (without anymore deaths).   Rock on!!!  We think it was some form of air-born sickness so we have now also moved them from the room where they were staying into the outdoor chicken pens.

I think that they only have about 7 more weeks and then they will be starting to lay … this will be fantastic.

If you are looking for a great deal then look no further … here is an offer you just cannot refuse.

Because of excellent camp sales this year we have been able to save up diligently and Willow Park Camps has been able to purchase the 30 litres of paint needed to re-paint the inside of the toilet block.

“… but how can I benefit from this?” I here you ask

Well … the saving comes to you through a HUGE MONSTEROUS discount on the “Toilet Block Chip In”. Because Willow Park Camps was able to “Chip In” on this chip in we can now pass the savings onto you and slash the initial chip in asking price. What was going to cost $592 will now only cost $460. WOW this is FANTASTIC deal … don’t wait and miss out on this saving … chip in now by clicking HERE

This years round of day old layers are doing a lot better than last years brood. Last year, due to bad feed we lost about 60 chicks, this year however we have only lost 3 chickens right at the very start … this is awesome … all the chicks are growing very well and they are all looking extremely healthy.

This project was started because of generous people “chipping in” last year; because we were able to purchase the chicks last year and because of the eggs sales we were able to purchase our next round of day olds as well as all of their feed and medicine until they start laying.

If we have 80% of our chickens laying each day, this means that we will be able to provide eggs to all of YFC’s ministries each week as well as pay for 1 worker to look after the chickens and save up for next years brood. It is exciting when projects can be started and become financially self sustained whilst providing valuable produce to YFC.
