Good morning everyone, I haven't been on since the beginnning of December I hope everyone is safe. I can see from the last few pages its been hot for most of you, lucky for WA the last couple of weeks are only in the mid 30's.
Its so nice to see you on here Anniebee it has been a long time...
Your silkies are gorgeous. We keep playing lotto in the hope of getter more acres then I can have lots of beautiful chooks. I just have to look at everyone elses beautiful chooks for now.
Would love to see some photos, if your not too busy.
Our lives just got too busy and our health is not what it should be so we had to downsize, not happy about it, but better to give them to someone who can look after them than to keep them. As we're only on a quater acre we have to constantly...
Fancy it's so sad and terrifying for those people in the eastern states. I can't think of anything worse. I hope everyone is safe, we are thinking of you.
Fancy do you still have all your beautiful chooks. We have had to downsize I've kept the girls I've hatched and a couple of others we are...
Hi Fancy and I saw Satay further back hi Satay, I haven't been on in ages I hope everyone is doing well especially with the fires and the weather. I don't get notifications anymore either I'll have to check the settings.
Hi everyone, I've been a bit busy. I hope everyone is coping with the weather wherever they are and hopefully no more fires. I read somewhere that someone recommended apple cider vinegar, I'm not sure if you are supposed to give that to chooks when its hot. It might be worth finding out before...
hi and :welcome to all the new members. I have been busy myself lately and just gotten over some spine surgery. I find this new format harder to use and I have stopped getting emails too. :he Sorry I forgot who asked about the ducks. I have 5 females muscovies, 3 male and 3 female mallards...
Hi kootkoot I have 3 australorps, 5 silkies, 1 frizzle, 1 sussex, 2 leghorn, 4 araucana, 5 marans chicks, 11 assorted breed ducks inc 3 drakes. Mine will eat just about anything. When its hot mine have trees jn the run and I use a water mister during the hottest part of the day. But generally...
My youngest son keeps asking when we are going to get another dog. I'm not sure I'm ready for another bit commitment. I have dad in a nursing home and I'm trying to be there for mum and my own kids and grandkids. I don't want to get a dog if I can't devote enough time to it. My sons would be...
Satay I feel so bad for you. I'll keep my fingers crossed for you to. I hope your boy heals nicely. We only have the neighbours cat to contend with she keeps trying to get in to the girls, Paul has made it hard for it. We have foxes around and I hope they don't get in, we are in a more built...
Satay I had my surgery now I have a month more of recovery, its driving me crazy my husband is making sure I don't do too much. At least he is looking after my girls and drakes really well. I hope you haven't had anymore problems with foxes. I hatched my marans eggs and got 2 boys and 3 girls...
Satay I'm glad you got some rain. It's raining here at the moment, though not very hard. My girls are all starting to lay too. After Bear killed 4 of my chooks a friend gave me 4 and I picked 4 Araucanas from her yesterday. I am looking forward to some green eggs. I hatched 5 wheaten marans 2...
WOW snow. Good luck with compensation. Its sad that they quibble with compensation after the heart ache they cause. Its not just stock its fur and feathered family, as well as your family exposed to it.
We buried Bear in the back yard next to the chook pen he used to love sitting there. The...
I went to a friend today and picked up 2 leghorns, 1 Australorp and 1 brown girl I forgot to ask what she was. They are all very quiet.
While I was there she showed me her Marans, I commented how beautiful they were and said that's what I want next. Haha I came home with 10 eggs she'd just...
Fancy They are adorable. I'm thinking of hatching some Marans and Araucanas, maybe when the weather warms up a bit. A friend is bringing me 4 hens to replace the ones Bear killed last week. She is going to see what she catches so it will be a nice surprise. Is that to do with the heat that they...
