    Australians - Where are you all????

    There are a number of backyard poultry forums located in Australia. Nostress is on one of them. I don't know if she has a username here, sorry. There are a number of differences between the Australian Standards and the American Poultry Standards. The laced wyandottes also have some slight...

    Australians - Where are you all????

    Australia is a big place and I don't know where you are located but the BYP directory has five brahma breeder listings.

    Australians - Where are you all????

    Yes, it's not unusual to see effects a little after the heat. If they are weaker or a bit low after brooding or a heavy moult they will be less resilient. A heat wave can stop them laying completely, but the heavy panting to keep cool affects the blood chemistry and has results such as low...

    Australians - Where are you all????

    The Sussex thread!

    They must be getting close. I am in Australia, but here the pullets do tend to come into lay even out of season although it can take a little longer. In season, our lights come in at around 28 weeks. Here is one of our pullets from last season. I would like to see a little more leg and a...

    Australian Sebastapol Breeders

    I hope you did end up getting a sebastopol and still have them. We keep a few here in SEQ and find them lovely. They are hard to sex though. This is a young male we hand-raised this season.
