I just ordered a back issue of the Practical Poultry issue introducing the Godborg breed of chicken. Thanks for the heads-up on this excellent resource.

I rescued this lovely boy from being Sunday dinner after his owner's hubby discovered him crowing and making advances on his Wyandotte hens. He's a large boy and not full grown if he just started crowing. Any idea as to his breed?

The Godborg (sometimes called Godberg) was developed right here in Western Australia by a local butcher by the name of Graham Goddard-Burgher.(sp?) I had the pleasure of chatting to him at the Midland Junction Poultry Society Auction today, where I bought two lovely Godborg hens to go with my...

I'vefound this thread fascinating. We are forbidden to import poultry into Australia, but being an ex-pat American living in Oz I wondered if anyone was interested in importing eggs from Australia? I have mainly Australian Araucana, Black Australorpe, and recently acquired Genuine Godborg (the...

I have a lovely Black Australorp hen named "Ebony" :-)

Nup, none of the above... I'm a retired Business Coach, turned "crazy chook lady", who now runs a small guest house in the wine region just northeast of Perth, Western Australia.

... and this lovely pair of NN "Cousins" spotted on my way home from the grocery store on Tuesday. (They're wild Emu - in case you can't tell)

This is my newest flock member: I'm not sure, but I think that there may be a bit of the "Frizzle gene " in there... What do you think?

A chicken transvestite? That boy is going to have "gender issues" when he matures... Showgirls have Nuthin on him! (Love the eyelash yarn... )

This is My gal Osma (ozzie for short). I cannot believe her breeder thought she was ugly!

Same here... I got my naked neck given to me because the breeder didn't want the chick. Said it put off the buyers of her other baby chicks thinking there might be something "wrong" or an undesirable gene in the pool, so to speak. I love it! Osma is so cute (read: ugly but interesting) and...

How heartbreaking, I can identify with your pain! We have a problem with Ravens here - and presumably with owls (though this has not been my experience yet). I have lost quail to the ravens and had one attack my littlest silkie but she was rescued by my very diligent rooster - whom I later...

I'm keeping a handful of silkies for just that purpose. They're only 6 months old so not mommy material yet, but in our spring (September/October/November) I hope to have the girls go all broody on me ! Best of luck (I have enjoyed reading your posts :-)

How exciting. I've only just begun my reading on the genetics of chickens. It has been nearly 40 years since my pre-med days that I had any real need for figuring out genetic pairings (and those were mostly theoretical) I'm looking forward to playing with the real thing in my own back yard...

Thank you, I must post more often and not just lurk.

This is Ozzie (Osma)... she was given to me by a local breeder when she was a week old. Said no one would want her (the breeder thought it was a roo). She has the loveliest temperament, and I look forward to som interesting offspring next spring. PS: Sorry there is no pic uploaded. I must...
