My Aussie hens are very quiet, but the roosters on the other hand are VERY vocal. They get into crowing contests at 2:30 am with the other roos in the barn, but in different stalls. I can almost set my watch by it. LOL

I have some of stans chicks. They are 8 1/2 months old. I must have gotten some amazing birds. They started laying early. Two of the hens went broody at 7 1/2 months old. One is still at it and the chicks are due to hatch this week. I hope she's a good mom. All 3 roo's still get along...

I'm so glad we are back to talking about Aussies again. In response to broody hens. I seem to have a bumper crop of them this year. I'm beginning to think there is something in the water LOL. Two of my 7 1/2 month old pullets decided to go broody. One gave up after a day but still hasn't...

Uhhh... Actually it's fowl pox lol

My whole flock had it last fall. I didn't treat it with anything. It is self limiting and if your birds have a normal immune system they will recover with a life long immunity. If you feel you need to treat it you can use Neosporin antibiotic ointment to prevent any secondary bacterial...

Out of 6 hens. I usually got 4-6 eggs a day. Two went broodie. One is still sitting and the other hasn't started laying again. With the hot days, I only got 2 eggs from them today. I'm hoping they do better when it cools off. If you want these birds for laying IMO I would go with hatchery...

Nice comb.

Cindy, It's me. I stupidly picked up a bag of feed and carried it into the feed room. It caused compression fx of my lower spine pinching my right sciatic nerve. Takes me hours to get moving in the morning. Bed rest is the worst thing for it. Thank you for your concern. Chickens are happy...

Hi all. I haven't been posting much since a medical issue has kept me pretty busy just taking care of my flock with little time for anything else, but I have kept up with all your posts. To make a long story short, I have been inundated with broody hens in my main flock this year. The last...

Thank-you stan, but I didn't really do anything. Your birds did. All I wanted was chickens that would lay well in the winter. I never expected to get birds this good. So far they have been better that average usually get 5 eggs a day. Fri and Sat I got 6. Sunday they all took the day off...

If your not board, here's a few more.

Now you went and did it. You asked, you know how I just looooove to post pics. here you go. Click on pic to enlarge. The above were taken in the barn with a flash. It had been raining and has been overcast all day. The variation in the color is from the green sheen. Black is so...

That looks just like my roosters at that age. That comb is just way too big for a pullet. None of my pullets that are now all laying have combs or waddles that big. Mine are all tigercreek chickens.

Same thing happened to roo # 3. Now I'm waiting to see how #4 turns out. I guess you can't cull to early. They are now 24 weeks old.

Aveca, You need to get one of stans birds and it just so happens I have two of his roosters available ;)
