Such a lot of interesting posts ... OMGoodness that Sydney weather has been horrid. We're just freezing down here with the odd bit of rain. That rain brought a little issue for me ... one of the girls had a big ball of mud dried on one of her feet, so I picked her up and slowly cleaned it...

Hi everyone, I've been a bit AWOL for posting but have been reading and trying to keep up with you all. Such a lot of information to take in!! News from me is that now we are getting 3 eggs daily and I think there will soon be 4, the other two are still looking quite "juvenile" with their...

Thank you all for your support over the past few months while waiting for these "point of lay" girls to finally live up to laying for me ... I must admit to starting to feel a bit down with having them for almost 3 months before they started laying, when it was supposed to be just a couple of...

Hi everyone, I've been lurking here with nothing to add for a while, so sorry if I've missed anything of importance to any of you. However, I can now officially tell you that WE HAVE EGGS!!!!! After all this time, two of my girls have started laying ... nice brown eggies, with hard shells...

Hi everyone, sorry to hear about the unhatched eggs ... trying to get online for past few days, finally got here but took a while. Still have tried to read all posts but may have missed some. Wow, some serious rooster people in here, thankfully none for me at this stage and probably never, I...

Hi everyone just letting you know that I am reading the posts and will contribute when I have something to add. A friend came over to check my chooks yesterday and reckons another 3 to 4 weeks before laying so obviously they were NOT point of lay when we bought them ... oh well not MUCH longer...

Hi everyone, Still waiting for my chooks to start laying but not sure if they're moulting as I'm finding quite a few feathers around both inside and out. Perhaps someone would kindly advise if this is or could be the case Hoping to find an egg every day but not sure if this will happen...

Hi Teila, they're a selfish lot, not giving me anything (other than having a pet morning and night) so no cackle berries (or bum nuts ... enjoyed reading that one, gave me a giggle as I'd not heard that one before or at least not in that context!!). One did perch on top of the nesting boxes...

WOW birdman that's a good foot or so of snow you have there ... happy to send some heat your way in exchange for a little (and I mean a little) bit of rain

Yeah I hear you there satay ... each morning/afternoon/evening I give a little check (also where they gather through the day just in case) ... we'll see how it goes and when (if) it ever happens, lol Thanks cwrite :) Hope yours arrive soon too ChristieB

Evening all, so sorry to hear of the losses but glad you're all starting to dry out up in Qld for a time at least. We're finally having some warm rather than extremely hot days (had 42 yesterday and 41 the day before - my girls were feeling the heat but was able to cool them down and they...

Good thought, have tried similar here before, due to extreme winds, heat etc which we get the shade cloth/tarps get shredded in no time and are very difficult to secure to start with. Hoping the trees will help soon but the girls get to stay inside if they want where it's fully insulated and...

Hi Everyone, Still hanging in here "listening" to all the things chook (and otherwise) related trying to learn enough to not do the wrong things with my girls. Surely it won't be long before that first egg arrives, surely they can't "hold onto" them forever, lol. Hoping the rain has eased...

Hmmm re Samsung (might need to try myself just to be certain lol ... but not today as I need to put this thread/site onto my phone first ... but good to have the heads up just in case. No eggs yet but shouldn't be long now SURELY!!! Poor Chimee but glad she's feeling better now. Hope you...
