All I have to say about that chicken show, is that the roo she got from the battery cage amongst the hens. MUST be one of the luckiest roo's ALIVE!

Quote: Quorn is awesome!! The 'crispy fillets', 'mince', 'pieces' and lasagne are the best. Don't go near the nuggets though! I feed it to my partner when he comes over, he thinks I'm so nice to cook him chicken even thought I'm vego It's been two years and he hasn't worked it out yet! It's...

Quote: that sucks! are they just old or? (I tried to read back but couldn't find anything) Back to the snakes if you put a couple of moth balls under the coop it's supposed to repel them

Quote: I work in the bush and encounter snakes A LOT! We always got told you have about two hours to get the anti venom by the snake guy who would come and show us how to identify snakes, snake bites and how to wrap them etc. He said that Taipans were the really bad, fast acting ones. Not...

I planned on entering but the one I was going to put in went broody the day I decided to enter her! She has week old chicks now so so much for that! lol

I hear Whittlesea show is on in victoria, Poultry this sunday. Anyone going?

New chick hatched in here in victoria tonight Only took him the WHOLE day to get out!

Are we talking about the auction in frankston tomoro? I was going to go, just for the experience. I wish they were selling fertile eggs though. That's what I ned now. Actually do they in fact sell eggs?

I didn't because it doesn't say to for any other birds on the label, also because I did it at night they're not going to eat for hours anyway! I don't think it's safe to fast any bird unless you're planning to eat it. They have such high metabolisms the really should have access to food at all...

Quote: That's because it's off label for chickens, but this is the dose they advise if you call them: 4ml per kilo given directly to the chicken. 7 days with holding eggs. Just use a syringe, pluck them off the roost at night to weigh and dose them into their mouth. That way they won't freak...

Quote: Have you birds near you when you uncover it, they'll get excited and eat the babies. I did that with mine and a mouse nest once, now they'll go after anything small, furry and tasty (to them) They even chase the rats along the fence with our jack russell as a pack!!!! It's hilarious...

Any victorian bantam breeders on here? I'm interested in australorps, cochins/pekins and silkies, haven't decided yet.... Maybe D'uccles.... but I don't know if I'm ready yet. Mine got killed by some dogs today The other girls didn't see but I got her and the Plymouth rock at the same time and...

Quote: I am, what dates are the "big poultry" days this year? I've gone on unspecific days in the past but only seen a few...

Quote: New plan! Gonna try making a simpler version of the pipe feeder, and attach a jerry (food safe) can to the outside of my coop on a bracket and run a pipe in to attach some cups to! Mainly because I just found this...

EEEEEE! I want the one in the corner! lookit his little faceAWWW Quote: Does that mean you've bough from them before? I don't really like buying from random websites. Tested is better! Thanks for the links guinea fowl galore I may try if I get brave enough lol I can do wood, wire, clay etc...

Quote: Extending my coop! Can I get advice from you guys? It's about price on a feeder, be good to get an opinion from people who use the same currency as me https://www.backyardchickens.com/forum/viewtopic.php?id=575390

just found out avitrol plus can be bought in tablet form too. Could be an easier way to dose chickens. it says the active ingredient is levisamole too, the same as worm enda, but it says it kills so much more types of worms.... now I'm confused!!!

Quote: Interesting, thanks for the info. I guess that the same as with Cetrigen, it says do not use on laying hens but when you call them thats the reason they give. I find it unusual you could use it on a meat bird and not a laying bird though. So I just keep it for bad injuries and don't...

Quote: I use avitrol plus for my aviary birds, I wasn't sure if it was suitable for birds laying eggs for human consumption.

What do you guys use to worm your chickens here? And where do you get it from? I hear about products from the americans on here but can't find them. I have the aristopet/levisamole wormer but that only kills roundworms. My dog eats their poo so I want them to be PROPERLY wormed. So they don't...
