That's who I bought my DE from. They had a stand at last year's Easter Show.

And you are happy with the DE? Do you use it on your chooks internally or externally?

Sorry to change the subject, but how are your ducks going Satay?
Do you still have them?

Sure do Luke and they are all going well. Starting to slow down on laying now but all happy and healthy

I'd love to see some pictures of them as a huge group?

omg no. I have about 12 girls i think and only 1 drake. 1 pair of Khaki campbells and the 7 runners.

Oh lol. Where did I get 30 from!?!?
What colour Runners. I loved the Runners I used to have.
I am thinking of getting geese now.

Thank you all once again for confirming my suspicions that Tammy is in fact Tommy. I sent some pictures off to the breeder also and she replied "You have a bouncing baby boy". Score card is now Rooster = 7, Pullet = 0.

Please think of Tommy if you know anyone in the Brisbane area looking for a sweet, beautiful Pekin rooster

Just wanted to share some pictures of Dusty; she is trying out for the part of Hard-Molt-Poster-Girl

I shouldn't laugh, lucky she does not have a mirror, poor Dusty!
I have visions of Animal Protection turning up on my doorstep any minute now!

Just caught up on the thread. Sorry for your loss, satay and Kat.. But I'm glad your other chook came back, satay!

I've been feeding my girls up with lots of protein the past couple of days. Tried to feel their crops tonight after they went to roost but I could barely feel it (especially on one of them)? Does it just mean she hadn't been eating much in the afternoon, or is it something I should be concerned about? I usually feed them the extras in the morning but they have access to their feed all day. She's moulting a lot at the moment, lots of white feathers everywhere but she doesn't look bald at all. Still has good appetite (at least she didn't this morning when I fed them), vent looks ok, nothing icky, and comb looks normal too.
