4 eggs for breakfast

2 out of the egg this morning!

I believe black with some white allowed.

correct me if I'm wrong. Black with brilliant green sheen (which goes for all black chickens). Moderately long feathers, everywhere, not close, but not a lot of fluff Wing tips covered Arched neck and breast should stick out further in front than the head Curves everywhere, especially the...

Too bad about the USPS there Chet, I feel your pain. I read a lot of good things about your birds and I am going to try importing some new blood next year. Do you know the people who won BA in the Ohio show last fall? Trevor

Wow, just reading back a bit as I've been busy. Open forums are no place for slinging wet noodles. There are a lot of different conversations going on and you can join in if you want. I like everyone or ignore them, what ever. I would like to see more discussion on the breed standards, but do...

I emailed Ross and orderd his booklets a couple of weeks ago. He's a wealth of knowledge with respect to poultry in general and specifically this breed. I'm hoping they arrive in the near future!

Sorry, I'm a little late responding, but we don't have insulation. The coop is ship-lap pine so reasonable wind proof. There is a screen door that I put a sheet of lexan on for the winter and I close the screened windows. They were basically shut-ins for 2 months. There are 40 birds in...

The last thing I do at night is feed the birds and a quick head count even if it is 1:30AM. periodically a door gets blown closed or they just decide to roost outside. They are not the brightest, but they have their reasons. We had wind chills of -39 this past winter and about 3ft of snow. My...

Hi Kate, Ya gotta love Aussie's! I belive there's a couple of people on here from Texas. Maybee Hupp Farms in AZ is not to far for you.

We're considered in the south! - Southern Ontario! lol

Hey Dragon Lady, My pullets have feathered faces like yours. I don't know how sereious it is with reguards to the standard, but good quality is hard to get up here. Is the C from the same line as the Pullets?

Hey, just saw this again. too funny, have to share. The Official Canadian Temperature Conversion Chart: 50 Fahrenheit (10 C) Californians shiver uncontrollably. Canadians plant gardens. 35 Fahrenheit (1.6 C) Italian Cars won't start Canadians drive with the windows down 32 Fahrenheit (0 C)...

We had an "earth quake" this week in Cobourg. 2.9 or there abouts. apparently 5km under lake Ontario. We might fall in too.

Picture from today. We get a couple of weeks in the summer that reach 100F, but we don't get hurricanes.

I call it the persuader when trying to move larger things. When I'm trying to be gentle it's the 5thou hammer - as in every time you hit it the object moves 0.005".

Is that a current picture? We have 2 1/2-3ft of snow in the fields and that's not measuring a drift! It's warming up nicely though. The weather forcast is for -13C tonight (8.6F for my imperial freinds) a month ago it was around -35C (-31F) at night.

Hi Ron, I see you are almost always on line. I like reading your comments. We just bought the farm a year ago last fall and inherited some barnyards. This is my first year breeding. I bought my stock from a couple of breeders last fall. I also purchased a couple of Hatchrites that need a...

We're getting temps 20 degrees below normal for this time of year, but some have been hatching since before Christmas. Not me.

Hey Geoff, I had a look at the pictures of your birds. Nice stock! How long have you had Australorps? Trev
