hi everyone Just wanted to stop in and say a quick hello...... and that I realised how much I miss out on when I don't touch base for a week or so! I really wanted to say a MASSIVE THANK YOU to both duckyfromoz and wooklet for sending me some beautiful feathers for my friends wedding. They...

Hi everyone! and welcome to the thread Rachel96! I'm sure it won't take long for you to fill up those empty Malay pens wooklet! If anything I bet that you are happy you even have spare pens! Have you thought about a battery or solar powered electric fence for around your coops satay? I know...

Oh duckfromoz - she is stunning!

lol wooklet! I didn't even think you were ignoring me!!! I have the bantam moderns as well! (well I assume so! They are itty bitty things!)... see how much of a novice I am! I'm fascinated with how friendly they seem to be. I got a mum and 2 chicks and she is very sweet! The poor others are...

satay - Don't you hate it when you have to 'suspect' things. I bet you wish you knew for sure that it was your neighbours dog so that you could go over and give them a piece of your mind! Sounds like time for a battery powered or solar electric fence around the base of your pen! We've had...

I don't like to post much..... but I do read to keep in touch. I'm wary because I think I am a certified thread killer! Nooo wooklet don't wish away the rain just yet! I am in south western vic (near heywood on the map ) and we had our first drops of rain in over a month today! We probably had...

Nice to hear that those who want rain... are getting some! Even if it is just a bit. We had a nice day here. A bit of rain, still quite warm... so hopefully a bit of green may return to may front yard! We have the sheep and a few calves running loose in the house yard at the moment...

Yikes! Bird flu! I hadn't seen that on the news. Thanks for posting guinea fowl galore! I saw an add this morning in our paper for goslings - $10 each. I'm trying hard not to pick up the phone and make the call!

Welcome Michael.. always good to have another Victorian on the forum It hasn't been too bad here weather wise.... The animals are all drinking plenty of water and it has been nice and warm... but no torrential rain like QLD and not stinking hot like it is in Northern Vic. I'd love a little...

Oh your new babies are just adorable I love the multi coloured feet!

Uh Oh.. another nerd. I'm a finance geek of sorts myself Fierlin I try to be as little of a nerd as possible... but it is kind of hard when you're a financial adviser. Got my first lot of eggs in the bator. The 7 duck eggs seem to be developing well and some guinea fowl eggs may even be a chance

Phewww! I think I have finally gotten the hang of this new BYC world too! The new site was a tonne slower than it used to be when I was using Internet explorer.. but hey, change can be a good thing so I reluctantly changed from Internet Explorer to Google Chrome and *WooSh* it is now as fast...

thanks for the nice words guys! We haven't raised many calves & it's the first one that has ever been sick, let alone died. As I said to my hubby last night, he was worth the money we paid for him just for the experience & knowledge we have gained! Lets hope someone has some good news today...
