I'm often asked about urban foxes. Yes, they do live in Adelaide. In fact, they are more prevalent in SA than any other state which is why every poultry owner should make sure that their yard is secure. Having neighbours with outside dogs in the suburbs is a great help to keep foxes away.

Its back up now with a new address. I do not have a user name as yet due to technical difficulties. Facebook had taken down my personal FB profile page as I was an Admin of an FB group. Because the posts in the group were constantly violating FB policy: words were causing a triggering - our group was not only taken down BUT all the Admins also lost their personal pages. This in turn took down my business page with it. I've returned and have started to rebuild my Adelaide Chicken Sitting Service page. Please join me and pass it on to your friends. I lost all my 570 followers and I would love to see you all back again soon. You are always welcome to contact me through Messenger through my business page. I'm always quick to reply.

There are a few ways to get around this censorship to help spread the word that you have poultry and/or eggs available. After all, the people who have joined these groups are there in hope of finding their new additions or to sell what they have.
TRIGGER WORDS TO AVOID IN A POST
These words may not trigger Facebook censors on every post. Some posts may be for a coming event, which FB permits the advertising of. Stating that "chickens are IN" often can get around that censorship. Check out your groups for other platforms or websites that they might direct you to for online sales. Some have specially set up websites to help their members. Best of luck, chooky owners!
