A Brit' in rural Australia.

[WildType]

Hi I'm new to chook keeping and enjoying every minute. We moved from London to a semi-rural suburb near Sydney in Australia to enjoy county life. We have four hens and a rooster. They are principally pets, and they do produce eggs, and they are part of a partridge wyandotte breeding project . I've got fifteen eggs in an incubator, and looking forward to the first hatch.

I guess for me, its all about learning and sharing the enjoyment that these bird bring. I'm looking to make sense of genetics, which right now is "googaaa" to me. If I can contribute a bit of useful advice about carpentry and environmental design then I'd be delighted to do so.

Hi and welcome! I grew up central west NSW and was most recently living south coast (near Wollongong) but now I'm in France! Good luck with your hatch - there are threads for current hatching on one of the boards if you want to share your incubating with others going through the same thing!

Thank you for joining us at Backyard chickens. BYC also has a thread "Australia, six states and one funny little island," in case you get homesick.

Incubators can lead to serious chicken math!



Happy hatching!
