Hi everyone and happy new year!! Also, big to the newcomers and howdy to the peeps I haven't met yet. Quick question... This is my girls' first summer and they're not enjoying the heat this week (40+) I've given them loads of fresh water but am wondering if anyone has any other ideas about...

The sad thing is that I had a fleeting thought that went something along the lines of 'wow wooklet must do well to stop hatching so early before the end of the year'. Then I realised.... Sorry to hear about the little ones that died. It's always sad no matter what the cause.

Thanks Ducky. You were right, they were fine. My vegie patch on the other hand was pummelled! BTW I love your pic!!

Merry Christmas everyone!! Ducky I hope you didn't get drowned. Are there any other Melbournians out there? I've never seen hailstones so big in my life. I'm at mum and dads and really hope my girls had enough sense to go up into their roost today - the storm was huge!!

Oh Ducky, I'm so sorry to hear about your accident. Must've been stressful for you and your new girl. I hope you get a nice new car before Christmas, a nice pressie for yourself.

Quote: Ducky your birds eat better food than me!! They'll have a fabulous Christmas!! 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...

Hi everyone Wow, feels like ages since I've had a spare 5 mins to check my favourite forum. Lots to catch up on! Scoopy, how's Brick going? I really hope she's made a full recovery. Ducky, any more news on the postal shooting? I did hear about it on the news last week, how awful for you. Sorry...

Hooray for new chicks!! You've had quite a bit of success lately RBF, good for you!! Any more this morning?

You lot are giving me a seroius case of pet-envy. Can I swap you some rain for a goat?

Oooh runner ducks? I just googled them, very nice! Is your champion drake a runner? How much space would I need? Our yard is about 40 square metres.... sigh... I just mentioned the idea to DH and the look he gave me was priceless. Something to work on I guess....

Awww, all this talk of broody hens and incubators is making me want more chickens! How much land do y'all have? Anyone else live in the 'burbs? And yes Ducky, I'm totally sick of the rain. Last year was like this and my vegies were ruined so I really hope this year is different! Also...

Nice pics Ducky and Ma Noob! Congrats on your win Ducky!!

Waffle77 and mycena86, great to have you on board! mycena86 I like your name choices (Mona and Lisa for the Italian birds!) I had a girl called Coco and when she died we named the newcomer Chanel in her memory. Ma Noob, get cracking with the pics would you, I need my fix of gorgeous little...

Oh Wooklet those pictures are GORGEOUS!! The last pic looks like she's saying "please mum, can I go back inside?" She'll get used to the real world, especially with such a caring mum. Well done I got a message from a mod saying my photo of the boy was taken down to protect the safety of me and...

Morning all Ooh good luck Ma Noob with your hatching! Wooklet, how are they this morning? I really hope they survived the night Ducky, I just had a mental image of you in the shower with ducks... I don't even know what you look like... Is that a little wierd?

OMG that sound HORRENDOUS!! Wooklet, most of what you wrote was double-dutch to me but I got the bit about 'dropping like flies' and I know that's B-A-D. Is there a way to prevent this 'coccidiosis' you speak of?? I've got everything crossed for you, keep us updated of the progress of your...

Hi folks. Wooklet, your story about the eggs is lovely. There truly are genuinely kind-hearted people out there and it's good to remember. BTW I love your signature. Quick question to everyone... How long do you normally wait after you finish antibiotics til you eat your eggs again? One vet...

Hi everyone! I like the new thread. How's the weather for everyone on this fine Sunday morning? Here in Melbourne we finally have some blue skies. Actually, what am I doing on the computer? Think I might hit the nursery and get some vegies into the patch before it's too late. Vegies have been...
