    46C/114.8F!! Keeping them cool...

    Thank you all. We got a cool change overnight, so cooler this week. Still hot but not high 40s C. The girls all survived. I bought a soaker hose today for the next round of heat when it comes. Now we're just dealing with bush fires! We're fine right now but my heart is so broken for friends.

    46C/114.8F!! Keeping them cool...

    Thanks all. Its hotter than expected, hit 45C yesterday, 46C today and higher than expected 47C tomorrow. They are doing ok in dirt holes they dug under their favourite bush with the sprinkler on low all day. Their dirt holes are wet, I think that's helping. They are still puffing like crazy but...

    Breed/Sex?

    They are pooping machines!! Crazy little things, always flapping and running around! We have big ones in the yard too, they are much loved and spoilt pets! Mr 2 is besotted with them, carries them around and they love it, follow him to get cuddles. Haha!

    Breed/Sex?

    Hi all. My three boys recently incubated/hatched these three - we were told they are Easter Eggers, does their colourings fit with this? They are still very young. I've done alot of reading around genders and I've had suspicions on them. We can't keep roos in our area, so they'll go to a...

    Thank you so much to all who have helped on this hatch! I really appreciate it! I'll post a photo of Egg 3 and Egg 5 once the ducklings have fluffed up and are ready for the brooder. These are the earlier three: They quite obviously think my son - Caleb - is their Mummy!! Very cute!
