That sounds confusing! I think I'll stick with broody hens for now, haha Hope you can get it sorted before you get the eggs!

Sounds like you're all set, I'm sure It will be much better this year I'm hoping to hatch 3 different bunches this year... one lot will be shipped eggs. I've found a breeder I've contacted and she said that I just have to let her know when i've got a hen ready and she'll express post the...

Ohh yay!! Hope it goes better for you this year! I enjoyed following this thread last year, so I will follow again this year I'm still waiting for one of my hens to go broody, wish they'd hurry up, haha

She's so beautiful Apps!! Assuming everything goes to plan for me, I'm hoping to hatch my first batch of pure Australorps from my girls and roo this spring... I'm so excited

She is so beautiful! Going to be a really big girl too! I love how big and chubby Australorps are

I vote Pullet My Australorp roo had a very red comb at that age, Pepper's is much more pale compared to his. Beautiful photos as always I'm doing the gender guessing game at the moment with my chicks... picked up one today and thought it had a bit of a large comb for its age.... still only...

Oh dear A few more weeks and you'll know for sure... My Aussie boy got a bright red comb fairly early, it was totally unmissable, so there is still hope! Different lines of birds mature differently too. No matter the gender, peep is completely adorable!! I've got chicks due to hatch...

My Australorp is one of the biggest birds in my flock. She loooooves her food, especially kitchen scraps. As soon as she hears any plastic bag rustling (thats what we put scraps in) she comes running in hope that she'll get first choice of the scraps

Looks like you have a really great setup!! :D She's so cute! I have no idea about her size... perhaps she's just really enjoying her food? :P

So cute What kind of setup have you got mum and chick in?

Oh nice!! I checked out your website, your photography is simply stunning

Awww, its so cute! Your photos are absolutely stunning! What camera/lens did you use for these shots?

Ooooh hooray!!! Hopefully there is more good news to come!! If you only end up with one, you might want to buy a couple of day old chicks to put with it... just so it doesn't have to grow up by itself... Now lets just hope its a pullet.... Or can you keep roosters?

Wooo Hope you end up with some beautiful babies soon!!

This would drive me insane with impatience/anxiety! Hopefully something will happen soon!

Oh dear.... Is it common for them to hatch late?... I hope nothing bad has happened! I was really hoping you'd at least get a couple of little chicks!!

I'm so excited for you!! Good luck, can't wait to see how it all goes!

Yay! Glad you've definitely got some babies happening Hope everything goes smoothly from here on!

I hope you don't end up with too many losses!! I've learnt quite a bit from this thread already, thanks for doing this diary thing I understand not everyone can do this but I think the first time i'll give hatching a go, i'll use some of my own eggs from my hens + roo.. I'm not brave enough to...

Looking forward to seeing how this all goes for you!! I'm from Victoria and am hoping to get myself a Silkie to hatch some chicks some time in the warmer months, I've never done it before, but am so looking forward to giving it a go! Good luck with your bunch, I'll be following this thread to...
