Hello everyone! I haven't been on for a bit because work got in the way - you guys move so fast I am sure I have missed loads...Colourful, I am so excited about your Emus! Will they be friendly if you keep them do you think? I would like one or two if I had room but have to confess to being a...

Thats disgusting. I hate buying chicken now, makes me feel guilty...It ought to be illegal not to have them free range - or any animal for that matter. I would like to thank you all for suggesting I persist with this porridge. I had some one the weekend (as a cover to give some to the girls...

Apps with my recent tick experience Afro was really slow and when she first got sick, she isn't as 'in your face' as the other two or as active anyway but she had slowed down so much that i could pick her up and put her back in their run... She is back with all the other girls today and...

Mogvgb your description of your bantam had me so giggling! Afro is home! She is currently out the front garden (enclosed) in isolation and eating away! I called this morning to see how she was, the girl who answered the phone kept saying 'he' did this and 'he' did that... I said, she's a she...

Thank you everyone for your lovely comments about Afro! I love this section as everyone is so warm and nice! I called this morning and they said she has improved, she is walking about a bit so I can call back later to see if she can come home today... I am not sure if she is eating yet as her...

Well, I called the vet this morning and Afro is still alive which is good...they don't expect to see a proper improvement until Monday/Tuesday. It was a paralysis tick, and quite big. I am totally obsessive with the dogs and ticks - they are on Advantix every two weeks and also the peppermint...

Bit of a hijack as I wanted to see if anyone else has had a similar thing happen? One of my silkies (Afro) was quiet last night when I put them to bed - she hates being picked up but didn't mind. Anyway, this morning she was laying in their aviary, (their kennel bed is in an aviary) and she was...

Mine are laying - I have three silkies all laying an egg a day (yeah!) and of my three big girls I am getting between one and two a day - my Molly seems to still be finishing her moult...she is also the less nosy of the girls and a bit dim but I am putting that down to the moult... Please can...

My neighbour has her chickens and ducks all together as well - they free range and hang out in two different groups - I see them when I ride past...sometimes the ducks all run along and so make me smile...funny things. She does have them sleep in different sheds though.

Luke, you and the garlic questions have so made me giggle! I haven't been on here for a bit due to work and you popped up regularly asking different quesitons about it - mind you, makes me think I'll boil some too! So please Tuppence is ok! I spray my girls houses once a month with that tick...

I have a Gold Laced Wyandotte too, but she is the least friendly of my girls - she came from a family with children so I thought she would be ok, but she would rather creep around and watch over coming over to inspect and hang out with me. She is also supremely dim when I want to get them back...

I am not a fan of bantams, in the past they wanted to roost in the trees rather than coming to bed which left me chasing them around the garden and climbing trees to get them down - the big girls move slower so are easier to shoo about, and greedier so go to bed for a snack! :) Do quails have...

All your babies are SO CUTE!!! I don't breed anything at our house, but they are simply adorable! Where are these Quail photos Luke?!

Sorry to hijack but my sister just sent this to me - I didn't know if anyone was down in Victoria? If the girls were up here I would have a couple like a shot...my grand plan is for a Chicken Rescue one day, but in the meantime this place is doing a fabulous job - its urgent to get the girls...

Id like some geese but my husband is scared of them! As for peacocks, they are on my list too for when I have my own farm, I do know they move about though as we used to keep our horses in Duffys Forest and someone (we never know exactly who!) has some peacocks who just wandered about from...

Apps if you do live in Sydney there is a brilliant chicken vet in Warriewood called Bryn - he is great (but probably a bit of a drive as he is on the Northern Beaches)

Apps I have had girls with worms - one arrived with them as I had a sample done and hers was different to the other type I had here. She would sit too and was eating and drinking, she lost weight and her crop was feeling full as that is where the worms were living... Hope that helps - she was...

Apps, I would take the older ones, but I don't want babies .. as a side note, my Dora was pathetic when we got her - if you even looked at her sideways she ran away and hid, such a freaking drama queen...she is now the tamest of all my girls (excepting Soda the legend Silkie) and I have trouble...

You guys are mean!!!! :) ...and I suspect she may be Australian... and yes, foxes are coming closer...and yes, there are show quality silkies in Glenorie (north west of Sydney) Deb - please say hello tomorrow at the silkie place (they may be able to recommend pekin breeders for you as they...

There is a really good registered breeder in Cattai Ridge Road at Glenorie - I have a couple from there, they are really nice people and really nice Silkies, you may have to search to find them on the net (I can't find their number) but they are listed as registered breeders. They do show but...
