    Australia - Six states..and that funny little island.

    Thankyou for your kind offer Vehve. I'm currently trying to visually decipher a photo that looks to be Winter War troops and I suspect may be my great grandfather. There's not a lot to go on, just their uniforms, insignia and a little writing on the back. Oh that video is awesome K Spot...

    Australia - Six states..and that funny little island.

    I believe most of their lives were in Oulu. I don't know too much of the family history. Being WW2 children, they didn't speak much of the past. I know they ran a bakery when my dad was young, but only found that out at Mummo's funeral because it was mentioned in dad's eulogy for her. I'm just...

    Please excuse my excitement for a second.... OMGOODNESS ANOTHER FINN!!! Composing myself now.... Vehve, my father and his family migrated to Australia from Finland 45 years ago.

    Teilah, I love your ad!! I hope you find Spot a good home soon. Those tomatoes are looking delicious Sam. Yummo. I'm looking forward to the end of summer, so I can get started on my own veg gardens again. The poor things have been so neglected this year. Guess what I woke up to at 4am this...

    Hello Aussies! It's been a year since I was in here, there are a LOT of posts I've missed in that time, so please forgive me for not reading it all and catching up to speed before jumping back into the convo's. It's been a hell of a year, so I haven't been online. Long story short, we lost my...

    I'm a 'newbie' and I don't feel excluded at all. In fact, I see that your question was answered. Perhaps not to the expectations you held, but answered nonetheless. Maybe not as many people provided the answer you were looking or hoping for? Please don't feel left out in this fast paced...

    Josh said that he thinks he picked up the very last cockeral from them but... if this incubation goes well, my next lot in the incubator will likely be imported Barnevelder eggs if I can't find any local and absolutely no doubt I will have too many cockerals left afterwards, needing homes. If...

    I did have instagram on my last phone. It's dead atm, so my account isn't being updated lately. It's a bit of homesteading/natural living everything on my instagram, including chicken photo's. Yup, definately chicken related

    Thanks Bens-Hens. That's where we got our 4 Barnies too :) Have been watching her gumtree ads being posted this season, but no Barnie's advertised yet. I haven't checked this past week mind you, must do that now.

    Australia - Six states..and that funny little island.

    Thanks for the welcome everyone. We have predominantly Australorp's and a Barnevelder now, as we're renewing our tired old flock. Sadly we only have one Barnie left of the only 4 I could find in WA when I discovered the breed earlier this year. I'm on the lookout for more of each, because I've...

    Hahahaha, this makes me feel a little less weird about contemplating placing a crystal grid around my incubator to help it along with crystal vibrations.
