@MickWithChicks -- I'm glad to know that you made it through the fires safely. Sorry to hear about your hens, and I hope that the injured one pulls through. Good luck with your flock!

I hope that you settle in well, Butterscotch. Good luck with the move.

Butterscotchbitesfinger -- I'm a week late, but it's great to hear that the bushfire near you is out! Excellent news! I hope that more fires will be brought under control soon, and I'm still keeping the people of Australia in my prayers. Stay safe, everyone!

It's great to hear that the fire in your area has been contained, Butterscotch! I hope that it stays that way, and that more fires are brought under control soon. A lot of animals have certainly been killed or injured by the fires. It is saddening and awful. However, I think that even the...

Butterscotch -- Have a safe flight! I hope that the damage isn't too close to your home. Still praying for the safety of the people in Australia.

@Manhen -- That must be one sturdy barn! Good luck in advance with the tornadoes this year, by the way. I don't know what I'd do for my poultry if a tornado hit. Given how fast they come on, I would probably just stay inside and hope for the best. Thankfully, tornadoes seem to be pretty rare up...

Butterscotch -- Sorry to hear about your losses. The rain is excellent news, though! Glad to hear about it, and just as glad to hear that you're safe. I agree that keeping this thread alive to talk about what's happening in Australia is a good idea. The more people who are aware of the situation...

@Muscovy Wunda -- Good to hear that things have cooled off a bit, and that things are okay with you. Cooler weather is lovely when it's been hot for a while, even if it doesn't really fix anything. In times of crisis, any relief is helpful, and Australia can use all the relief it can get...

@Muscovy Wunda -- Scary stuff, especially when it's out of control. Well, that was stating the obvious, I guess. Sorry. Words are wriggly little things, aren't they? (Trying to be funny -- sorry if the timing was horrible.) I worry that I'll say something wrong when I try to comfort someone...

I am so sorry to hear that this is happening. Fire terrifies me, and I get scared when we burn the (self-explanatory) burn pile in our backyard -- I don't think that I could deal with living only ten to fifteen kilometers from a wildfire for any amount of time. Muscovy Wunda -- I'm sorry for...
