Hi Everyone, it's been a month since I've been on and it seems everyone's had a few disasters. So sorry to hear about everyone's losses and mite infestations. I've been scratching in sympathy as i have been reading through the posts i've missed. Fancychooklady: Your garden is gorgeous! I love...

Thanks Fancychooklady. I do have a guinea pig hutch that I converted to a brood box so I might be able to attach that to the run on the quarantine hutch and unscrew the ramp so they can't get up top. I'll put the ramp back when they're a bit older. This arrangement may even give me easier access...

Thanks Anniebee and Sjturner79 I'll be taking the chicks for outdoor excursion this afternoon. Pigeon seems a little better this afternoon as i managed to get her some antibiotics, fingers crossed i caught it in time but now i'll just have to wait and see. The lady that i bought them from...

Hello Fellow Aussies Would love some advice, I've read sooo many things on the BackYard Chicken forums that i'm feeling overwhelmed. I'm currently raising 4 week old Silkie Bantams in a hired brood box in my garage. I originally had 6 chicks (2 x Splash, 1 x Black, 3 x White) however lost 1 x...
