Hi from Down Under

post #1 of 17
Thread Starter 

Hi everyone...I've just joined up. I bought my first ever hens on Sunday. 6 all up.  ..umm...red ones. Not really sure what breed they are. I definitely have my chicken training wheels on.  Have had 3 eggs so far. The first one was Tuesday morning and I was so excited!!!!!!!!!!  Can't wait til there's 6 there. Happy days.

welcome-byc.gif  Hi Im in New South Wales....Wollongong.  Im moving up to Brisbane in 5 months time.....cant take my chickens with me. I have recently been married & Im going to move from NSW to Qld in about 5 months.  I cant take my beloved brood with me hit.gif

I have a coop that you can also have for free.

I have 3 laying hens (about 18months old) and a Silky Roo, aged 24 months.  I have one meat chicken (20weeks) that I saved but isnt walking very well.  I keep her separate from the others as they chase & peck the poor thing.

I will post a pic of them & the coop.  I also have a flimsy run I did up if you want that as well. All FREE!!!  celebrate.gif

Pick up only. 

I would really like them to go to a good home.  The roo is very tame.  You can pick him up & cuddle him & pat him.  I put him in the garage every night in his own little pen (which you can also have for free). The meat chicken also has her own cage that sits on top of the roo's pen at night.

I got the roo from the RSPCA about 12 months ago.  His name is Rocky & he is my baby.  Like I said, you can sit him in your lap for ages & pat him....a real cutie.  The red hens name is Pumpkin, a black one called Daisy & another black one called Sweet-Pea.  The white meat chicken is called Porcelain. All very sweet chickens.

 

Ok....Here's the pic.  If you're interested, let me know on BYC's reply to this thread & then I can give you all the details, phone numbers etc.

Helen: Daria, do you have to look at everything in such a negative light?

Daria: Could you possibly be referring to the harsh light of reality?
