Lady in Victoria,who breeds such beautiful ducks! Thank you lady in Victoria!
I know what my husband would say if I put a duck in the shower with him!! Must try it!!
Little picture of my 5 new ducklings in the shower recess while I change their bedding in the broody box! They are adorable!
Silky 3699, I have quite a few silkies too,whites,buffs,blacks and splash. Also bought a very expensive show quality white bearded a few weeks back,I'm still waiting to...
My computer has gone mad! I have missed 5 pages of posts,because it didn't tell me that I have messages from BYC! I'll have to spend a few minutes reading them all and then get back to you! How is everyone!!

A virulent bird disease has spread to racing pigeons in Victoria.
A new strain...
No,I am trying to breed Reds atm, but I have a book that is almost the Silkie bible by Sigrid Van Dort,and in it she tells you how to get all the beautiful colours! That is why I said give me a day,as I was going to copy it for you.
Could all be rumours,but a poultry website is saying that someone smuggled some fancy pigeons in?
They have stopped all pigeon racing in Tasmania,and I hope that will be the case elsewhere! . Also hope that the vaccine will be affordable to us backyard breeders !
Couldn't resist this one!
OMG!....I was in in the public restroom - I was barely sitting down when I heard a voice in the other stall: "Hi, how are you?"
Me: embarrassed, "Doin' fine!"
Stall: "So what are you up to?"
Me: "Uhhh, I'm like you, just sitting here."
Stall: "Can I come over?"...

So happy for you! Looking forward to seeing the pics too,one of my silkies is suffering from a "bare back" atm,may have to get her one too.
Ducky,from what I have heard I think that you would be better to err on the side of caution, it seems to be moving pretty quickly - of course...

MELBOURNE, Sept 6 AAP - Victorian veterinary authorities are being asked to check the health of pigeons and poultry after a rare virus was detected...
Has anyone heard anything about this virus that is knocking pigeons out in Vic and NSW? It has not as yet spread to chickens , but it is pretty lethal for pigeons I believe. There is talk of stopping all pigeon racing,and keeping pigeons away from shows.

suggest colour coded bands on their legs, I put a band on Lulu so I could tell her apart from Tiny as they are almost identical unless you look at her behind and it has more white!!!
Good Idea - Thanks! Gives me an idea for names for them too - Red,White,Blue,Green!!!
that's what I have been trying to figure out! I think that the patterns on the top of their heads are different,but I will have to get better acquainted with them first! They are funny little guys - I just love them at this age!
the new Guys!My Aussie Game Bantams,hatched yesterday, offspring of my little Reserve Champion Hen! 6 were born,but sadly 2 didn't make it,but these little guys are going strong. Future Champs! Don't they look as if they are discussing the news!
I liked the original episodes! Who was the very first Doctor Who? Even I can't remember!!
To reply to your question GFG the chook cost me $200, hubby thinks $100! So don't tell him! The one I told Ducky about was a LOT more than that, and in 2 years she hasn't laid one egg!!
I just candled...
I've been naughty! just bought myself a white show quality silkie,she is quite beautiful, and I don't regret it at all, I just won't tell hubby exactly how much she cost!! She arrives here in about 10 days,so I'll post a pic when she is settled. Ducks hatching,silkie arriving,what an...
