Just wanted to share a pic of this lovely girl.
We got her a couple of months ago from a lady who was going travelling.
No idea really what breed she is or crossed with but she sure is a beautiful looking lady.
She’s just come back into feather after moulting so we should be getting eggs soon...
so it’s autumn here in Australia and most of my girls have been off the lay for a little while due to moulting.
I was getting desperate for eggs so I actually bought andz from Aldi last night .
Today we got 8 eggs including 1 from our new red splash Araucana “Quinny”.
Maybe they thought they...
Everyone meet “Quinny” (today is the autumn equinox in Australia).
She’s a red splash Araucana and she’s the newest member of our little flock.
She currently in quarantine for the next 30 days but after that she will join our Buff Orpington rooster and his ladies.
just wanted to share a pic of one of my 10yr old daughter’s baby Belgian Duccle.
Looks like a little pullet.
This is her first year hatching eggs from her little trio.
She’s had a great season and sold off 5 chicks a few weeks back.
There’s more eggs in the incubator and the little hens are...
I’m lucky enough to be picking up an Arucana hen tomorrow from a lady who is sick of her broodiness.
Apparently she lays 6 eggs then goes broody
I already have egg layers so a broody would come in handy.
My question is:
How do I go about moving her and setting some eggs under her?
I’ve never...
me again, I’m racking up the posts this week
I hatched these buff Orpingtons and now that they are 15 weeks old I was wondering if they are male or female?
as Australia turns to autumn I’m thinking ahead the the spring.
I’ll have a quad of buff Orpingtons and maybe some other breeds that I want to separate to breed.
Can I see everyone’s breeding coops please?
hi all, I got these girls yesterday and I’m told they are purebreds but the elderly lady couldn’t remember the breeds.
Her sister used to breed them and bring them to the farm once they had grown.
They are currently in quarantine and being treated for scaly leg mite.
TIA
good morning all.
I’m just wondering if anyone can help me sex my young turkeys?
I hatched out 5 but 3 had some sort of issue flipping on their backs and were culled.
They are a mix of bourbon and buff I think.
TIA
Has anyone had issues with turkey poults that can’t stand upright and constantly flip on their backs?
Out of 5 poults hatched 3 of them
Are doing this and I’m afraid I’m going to have to cull
Hello, I used be in here under another names years ago but back again
(1) Are you new to chickens / when did you first get chickens?
No not new, I’ve had chickens all my life.
My grandfather bred and exhibited australorps, buff Orpingtons and English game.
I’ve had Australorps, silkies, old...
