Success! We got 2 pullets yesterday - a silkie and a Spitzhauben, both about 5 weeks old. Starting small, but want to pick up a few more today! :) thanks for your help!
My husband is from Melbourne, but we live in Dallas Texas now and go back to Aus every year! I need a fellow Aussie to assure my husband that getting our first chicken is a GREAT IDEA! He is a bit, hmm, reluctant to the idea... :)
