It is so sad about the destruction of the poor little fellas and such an outrage that they reckon salmonella is going to spread because of one chick dying when the disease has already been established in this country. If they want to know what real spread of disease is why don't they have a look...

Just came across this article about new chicken breeds being imported into the country,Would anyone know if one of these newly introduced breeds are the Cream Legbar breeds?
Any of you folks got away with keeping roosters in the surburbs?
I want to hear your stories, I got a Welsummer rooster that I have had in my yard for over a year now and no council ranger visits since 2011
Anyone ever heard of the JN-12 auto turn janoel incubator off Ebay or use this incubator?

Yeah, The rain is getting really down strong in the western suburbs and I hate getting up for work at 5 am every morning in the chilly weather, My poor chooks have been coping well.

Welcome MrViskers! How is it living near Inghams? I'm reading an interesting book at the moment about how living near factory farms can effect the local environment. Apparently it can really suck to live...
Hey all im Australian, Im from Casula N.S.W and I breed Ameraucana chickens
funny thing is I live up the road from the Ingham's hatchery factory too bad those chooks become the nation's dinner.
