I would just like to post and celebrate the fact that the winter egg strike has ended, and my beautiful hen, Penguin (long story :rolleyes:) has started laying again.
:ya:ya:ya
My girls are definitely pets. We picked up the bantam cochins from my daughter's kinder hatch. They are like my feathered children :gig We added 3 silkies, one of which is not longer with us, but since having them mid way through December they have graced us with maybe 3 eggs Haha.
We are...
I was googling heaps at the time because I told my daughter she could bring some of the chicks they hatched at kindy home :oops:
I'm fairly certain it popped up when I googled about brooders and temperatures for week old chicks. Then it went on to trying to work out if they were he's or she's...

He will be 11 weeks old about mid week and is a bantam.
Also, I hope this...
