Australia - Six states..and that funny little island.

I lost my last turkey tom the other night. Big g i have had for just under 11 years and he was full grown when given to me so not sure how old is was. Odd going out to let the girls out and not hear his gobbles now. Pretty chilly nights out here already but the days are still ok.

Sorry to hear you lost your turkey. Sound likes he was getting on still sad though. We were getting cold at night now its raining and cloudy is warm again.

It's funny how may people think that While our days are really nice most of the time. We have been down to 2c already over night and get into the minuses over night in winter. Can't compete with tassie or france cold.. nor do I want to

Ahhhh see my only experience with Qld weather was 3 years in Hervey Bay - nothing ever that cold! I really missed the seasons (we'd just come back from France and I'd grown up in central west NSW so lots of seasons there!).

Sounds like he had a good innings. I lost my old Jaffa too. Days are lovely here but freezing at night. I just wish the grass would slow down .

Hi All... just saying hi! Kiwi on the Goldie...who's just restarted her chicken adventure...and quickly learning chicken maths

Hi and welcome !

0-9 in 2 days, 9-12 in 3 weeks...and maybe more soon!!!

Yep chicken maths is a shocker! I started with 3 at christmas, added 2 silkies (both gone broody), have 4 chicks from one, 6 more chicks due (hoping they are there when I go down in a minute) today, and going to collect 12 eggs for my light sussex who has also gone broody!

We have four silkies (our chicks) so broody hens are in our future..unless they all turn out to be roosters

A question for the group, I'm looking to get pea straw cheaper than the big green shed for my run. I'm in Melbourne's north, how do other people get larger quantities of pea straw (or lucerne)

I do but i live rural so buy direct from a local farm. Ask around you may find some in your area.
