Hi everyone, so I’ll get into it. My coronation Sussex is sitting (or was) sitting on a dozen fertile eggs. It’s day 2 and today when she came out to refresh herself, one was broken in the nest (the other eggs got yolk on them, I tried wiping it with warm water but most of it was dried up) and...

Hey everyone, it’s a bit of a long story so I’ll try cut it down to simplest form. I have a coronation Sussex who has been broody for a while now and we’ve decided that we wild order fertile eggs for her since we live in the suburbs of Australia and no roosters are allowed. We haven’t got the...

Hey everyone from Australia 🇦🇺, I have two pullets that I am unsure of what their breeds are. I know they are crosses for a fact.

Hi everyone from Australia! I’m Sage and I have 5, 3 week old chicks. 1 Australorp, 1 SLW, 1 LS, and two that are crosses I’m pretty sure, as the lady that sold them to me said the brown one is a Isa brown pullet and the grey one is a cross, but I believe both are crosses. Also noticed they all...

Hi everyone, I’m Sage and I’m from Australia . I bought one coronation Sussex and one double silver laced Barnevelder from someone a few weeks ago. At the time I bought them 13/10/19, he said they were both about 6 weeks old. I disagree as they were quite small (I will attach some photos) and...
