Sign of the Kiwi Chickens need some shelter and food

Gary from Spreydon

Just past the SOTK live some chickens who have become refugees now that the bush they lived under was consumed by the flames.

They are lovely chickens, 3 female and one singed rooster, who are now camping under a tree, at the carpark where the summit road that goes past the SOTK takes a hard left.

We have been feeding them in their last abode for the past 6 months or so, but they are very exposed where they are now.

I think like any other refugees they would appreciate some sort of shelter, and some food if anyone would like to help them.

Its quite fun going up and giving them our scrap bowl, and some grain, maybe other Samaritans would like the outing as well.

BTW the Sign of the Kiwi and summit road seems totally open!
