I read a really informative article on here about egg inconsistency/odd eggs the other day when I got my 'fairy egg' and I'm pretty sure it explained these things as well I'm pretty sure that it was here on BYC, it was super interesting! Have you seen this one...
s haha they are so funny! That's an awesome pic makes the bantam egg look huge! I don't know how to see notifications of replies, I just seen yours by chance catching up on the thread? Eb's actually had a few funny eggs around this one, including one that looked like it had poop in it she's...
Hey everyone I Just had to share this cute tiny egg! Not such a cute nicknamed egg - Fart egg ? I think I'm gonna call it a fairy egg, my kido will be amazed when she gets home from school, what fun I've never seen one of these before, Chickens help me to learn something new every day.
Hey, has anyone had a Magpie attack their chicken? I was just sitting back watching two of my girls scratching on the grass and a magpie aggressively swooped down onto my black bantams back!!!??? I jumped up and yelled at it and ran towards it and it flew onto the fence before I shoo it away...
Oooh :-D I just have to tell someone! After 10 days patiently waiting, one of our new girls left us an adorable little white egg! And she used her nest box, so I'm really excited! I wonder how many we will start to get per week now, I cant wait to find out :->
They are great! I'm thinking great for keeping free ranging out of garden beds as well as keeping chickens contained I want like 4 and it Turns out if you type 'buy chicken RUN' into google a whole lot of options I've never seen before come up it's all in the wording hey..Dunno which to...
That looks great! Do you remember where it came from? I've found enclosures similar to these when I was looking for one to just buy, also some were fully enclosed with a roof too which was pretty neat, but none were that cheap prehaps I'll have another look
They are awesome, I wonder if I could use this stuff to easily extend my coop run? I was going to do it with metal poles I found at the tip shop connected with pvc joints to create a frame and then zip tie mesh onto the sides kinda like a DIY I also found on google, but make a removable lid from...
Lol yep, I never say no to a free feed I don't mind if they come and pinch food as long as it's not my chickens!
That is an awesome run and from bunnings?!? I was there looking for something like this for ages with no luck do you know which area of the store? How much would you say this...
I don't think that she will find my yard suitable for nesting as my trees are only 7 years old so although probably tall enough for something to nest in most of the branches are not at all large enough to support a big bird like her yet alone her nest, actually one of my trees even blows around...
I'd love to see photos! I'm thinking they are just about ready, they seem to be a lot healthier being out doors too, I didn't start to take them outside or until about a week ago and I didn't turn off their light at all until about 2 nights ago, I think I might have over/unnecessary babied them...
My fences are colour bond 2.5m, I had a fox come and kill a rooster once, it got in by digging under the fence, once I blocked the entry point it never got back in although there was evidence of it trying to dig in again. The yard that I have the chickens in now is even safer than that part of...
Hi thank you it's good to be on here! Crows are not in my area but a Currawong is like a BIG solitary crow I suppose, I have a tone of magpies which are my favourite birds besides chickens but Crows I'm fairly sure will gang up on larger prey birds and smash them so prehaps they ward off...
Hi thanks for replying. I have two adult hens and two 7-8 week old chicks which are kept completely separate until the hens are well (they came with issues ) and ofcorse until the chicks are grown so I'm not even putting them near eachother but eventually there will be a little flock of 3-4...
