Bumping, hoping for some advice please

Hen in question is 18 months and not currently laying since her autumn moult (its winter so no one is laying right now)

Hi guys! Hoping you can give me some ideas because I’m at the point of culling my only blue egg layer! Around a month ago she started limping, I checked her out, more than once, no sign of any injury, infection, bumblefoot etc just this limp, it continued without much change with me checking...

Omg how awful for you!! I can’t even imagine.

Omg new chicks! Still just the 2?? I have another batch due to hatch on the weekend but they aren’t mine so I’m not as excited as I was for my babies, but still super keen to see those first pips!! It was time to clean the brooder so the babes are having their first play outside! They...

Wow big day! First day back at school was good, they all had a great day thankfully, now just to get through the rest of the year! Wow Krystal I didn’t realise that’s where you lived! My sister is in Buderim on the sunny coast. And my kids dad lives in North Brisbane. I could never live in...

Morning, just, it’s 11.05am Monday 28th here. New school year starts tomorrow, kids are going into grade 4 grade 2 and kindy (preschool) chicks are growing super fast, such gorgeous colours, it’s going to be hard to pick my favourites. Based on observation alone I think I can pick out 2 Roos so...

Hi guys! Wow 20 pages to catch up on! My internet is pretty slow right now so couldn’t see all the photos but I got through. Now for quick replies! Happy birthday for Sunday. Krystal! 27 huh, still a spring chicken :D The reason for the rabbit ban in qld is they were introduced and cause a lot...

Were they rabbits or hares? We get hares down here, my cats have brought me babies a few times too, I can’t say I’ve seen many rabbits

Gorgeous girls! :love:love:love Love the colours, the crisp white and Auburn tinted brown, very pretty ladies. Had to google king brown - lovely looking snake (I am a snake fan) but the fact that its known to have bitten people while they are sleeping, made me shudder, so you can keep that one...

Look forward to reading them :hugs

Hi guys! Gosh it’s been ages since i checked in here how is everyone, can see heaps of new names which is awesome. I’m sharing everywhere cos I’m so excited! Had 10 little speckled Sussex hatch today, I love hatching, it’s so much fun, even with the downsides. Proud chicky mumma spam

So sad, I wonder what happened to them. I’ve had my share of random losses too, it’s hard every time. But you learn each time too and you’ll know what not to do for the next time!

Yes that’s my baby, 4 going on 14 :lau

More southern states do get snow here but not Queensland, not even tops of mountains, it’s to tropical on the coast and to dry out west. I’m in SE qld and we can get below 0, -5 at most, ice on the windscreen and frost on the grass but not even close to snow,

Update from me! Transferred 8 chicks to brooder, And have 2 still in incubator, one hatched one resting with just its wing out, I’ll probably end up helping it out because I’m a sucker lol. My kids won’t leave the poor things alone, they’ve already been for drives in toy cars and put in teacups...

Yes do!!! I feel like we could be friends haha, you’re a girl after my own heart.

Update! It’s 1140pm here. Just moved the most recent hatchees to the “hot box” as I call it. Took the chance to check the last eggs, 3 are still kicking, pipped and just resting by the looks, may have assisted a little. Last one looks like it’s died, i can see it’s beak but there’s no response...

Apparently good things come in 3s, heard a commotion coming from the incubator, one was out and knocking things around, then another popppec out followed by a third who karate kicked the cover off the water lol. That makes 7! 4 eggs left now, 2 haven’t shown any activity, 2 have pipped but not...
