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?

I agree with you Avonlea!!! I feel like I'm constantly saying 'no bag please' everytime I by anything. If cashiers asked everyone whether they need a bag it would also make more people actually THINK about whether they need one. I use calico resuable bags. Here are some interesting facts if...

I just LOVE all the pics!! Christie, haven't had a chance to read your blog, will hopefully get time on the weekend. The photo of Izzy is superb. Excuse my ignorance but are they feathers on top of their heads or is it fur? I'm so confused Guinea, Lonely has grown up so much, very cute!!

Hey guys! Wow I kinda got stuck in the other thread. It's hard work keeping up with both! Christie, sorry to hear you're not well. Hope you stay positive and beat the f***er into submission. And happy birthday for the other day. Hey JC how can you tell when it's someone's birthday, it's not like...

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!!
