Yeah, she brought a smile to your face. But, the govt decided that we shouldnt have a naked woman having a bath as a monument in our main thouroughfare. Sad, but true! Christchurch as pretty central, but immediate area isnt the best. You PM me when you've decided when you're coming back over...

lol.....she was taken away in 1999 or 2000. Are you hoping to take her title? lol havent heard someone mention her in some time. glad you enjoyed yourself. coming back?

Im in Dublin. not expecting many takers for this thread.

I dont want to dispatch him though, for all his tantrums, hes a good bird to his hareem and looks after them well. However, if he ever tries to attack anyone but me, well......it will be one of his last actions.

Hey all, Wondering should I provoke my roo to the point where he attacks? The background to it is my roo attacked me some months back. I searched the site and read about various ways to let him know he's on your turf, not the other way around. So off i went and anytime he got too close or...

And to prove Mahonri's point, im guessing you have a flock of Roo's.

No movement in the egg and the air sack is about a quarter to a third the size of the egg. WHat does this mean? Im presuming the eggs have expired and wont hatch. Still some space left and i see no movement. Im a disaster, what did i do wrong?

Hey all, Is there such a thing as a *wanting a better word* 'playground' for chickens? I mean, dogs have thier chew bones, go on walks and lead an almost adventurous life. Cats have their scratching posts, which can in some cases look like mini apartments. Birds have their swings and toys. The...

Thanks all. I do have a fenced area for the chickens, but i like to let them roam about when im there. Just took a phone call and came back to Sparkles (daughter had named her) on the ground. Had 'The Conversation' with my daughter about Sparkles dying. She took it better than i thought, but...

Chicks were out scratching around.....dogs, who dont bother with the chicks, were in the same area. Went in to the house, came back out 15 mins later...one chick on its side. Brought it in and wrapped it up. Died. I prefer my chickens to my dogs, and I'm not going through this again.....I...

This thread is gonna turn into some kind of rally soon ... pro unfertilized egg chants are coming .. lol To the OP - If anyone cares enough about whether the eggs are or arent fertilized, they'll ask. If someone should come back to you, that didnt ask about the eggs, your response will...

Quote: Exactly right. We get more than our fair share of rain over here which results in snails, slugs and worms. The chickens love it.

Yesterday, I turned over some soil for her, she got this 7inch worm. Usually with worms, she wolfs them in a second. this time she spent the best part of 5mins breaking it up to eat. Gave her some more mealworms later, which she took her time on, as opposed to her usual method of practically...

I wish I could say the same for mine Grasjm36, at least then I'd know, but i'm afraid where I am in Dublin, we dont have hawks or predatory birds of that ilk. My girls and roo are out of reach from every predator...even the foxes, which we do have roaming around. Its annoying and im annoyed...

Thanks guys Checked the vent and its clean and clear. Shes still laying, so not egg bound. Shes a 14 month old RIR. I've tried the egg, and also gave her some mealworms. Still eating, drinking and pooing normally, but then stands away on her own, head in and eyes closed.
