Thanks 13 Chooks and Satay, I ended up putting her in Gumtree and within 10 minutes of placing the ad I had an answer. Within 1 hour I was inundated with emails. So Shatzy has now found a lovely home and will be the lady's pet. She will also be getting company of her own kind. Thanks a lot...

Hi Everyone Just putting out the word, I am giving away my one beautiful pet Silkie, she's approx 9 - 10 months old. She loves her bath and feather drying. Unfortunately even though she is separated from the other chickens, and she has her own lovely coop all sectioned off, my laying...

Crazy Chookz, I grew up in Melbourne, (6 seasons in a day) now live in Sunny Qld. You can have all the rain to yourself , we had our share here.

Hi Everyone, Two of my Australorps have now started laying, fancy that in Winter. My first 2 ever eggs. Today I received 2 more which makes a total of 10 eggs now and they are a little bit bigger than the first 2. They seem to be getting bigger now as they continue to lay. The picture...

Duckyfromoz you crack me up - you have quite a sense of humour. I'm sure you must be the life of any party

I am very happy to say that none of my Australorps attacked Shatzy my Silkie. They all seem to be living in harmony. I'll let them out in the afternoon and see what happens. That was a worry and a half however Shatzy has obviously stood her ground.

Hello Everyone I'm sooooo excited, just picked up my 4 Australorp girls. They are in a crate waiting for sun down so I can introduce them to Shatzy my silkie. They are at point of lay and it will be approx. another 4 weeks till they start laying - it will be my first ever egg. Chicken coop...

Thanks Michael for your reply

Hello Everyone It's been a while since I wrote anything. I have been extremely busy with my studies. Thank goodness I passed my first exam this week for this semester - and it continues..... As a reward, my hubby took me out to the movies which we don't do very often. We watched "The...

G'day Chickmate. I live on the Peninsula and my place is 700 metres from the water/sea. I haven't seen any predators around our areas. I know there are some humongous rats, as I saw one on the road near the drain pips running across the road one night as I was driving home and one in between...

Welcome Chickmate to our thread. I feel soooo much better now - I thought that Oli had some type of complex. I absolutely love the photos of your dogs the look on their faces is adorable. I always wanted to buy a hairless Chinese crested but hubby thinks they are ugly and too exy to buy...

Beehiveginger. I'm still quite a newby as well. You live in a lovely part of the world. I lived on the Sunshine Coast for 10 years - 8 of those in Maroochydore - wonderful beaches, one of the best in the world. The other 2 I lived in Palmwoods, also a nice spot. All the best with your...

Good luck Satay, hope all goes well.

Guinea I saw the other photo, but these are real funny Your photos are real good, you must have a good camera. These are like post card pictures. Well Done. I like the Chick on the flying carpet!! Mommapilko I'm not quite sure what you mean by DLM. At the moment because I only have...

Welcome Mommapilko to BYC. I am also from Brisbane and also quite new to this "chicken business". I'm just starting out and I have 1 pet Silkie. I will be picking up some Meal worms shortly to start my meal worm farm, chickens absolutely love this so I have been told and it's good for them...

Hi Ducky, It's beautiful and still will a light wind here in Redcliffe - Brisbane. Sun is shining and it is very muggy again. I will be blowing up my portable swimming pool for 2 and Oli and I are going to have a dip. Shatzy, my silkie is wondering around the back yard frolicking in the...

Oh Guinea, he looks absolutely gorgeous Makes you want to have one too. His face looks a bit like a scotty if you know what I mean. Other than my other chickens and worms, I have to stop. I can understand that you can't wait. All the very best with this little one when you get him. Let...

Thanks Ducky for the clarification, keep me posted Cheers

Sorry to be ignorant - but what book are you talking about?

G'Day Michael and welcome to our thread. I think you Victorians are going to outnumber us Queeslanders soon.... Oh well I can't say much, I was born in Victoria. I've just started and have my first ever chicken (silkie) who is settling in well. You seem like you have your hands full and...
