Ok then, yes we all have this hiccup at first but once you do it the first time it becomes really easy.
Photobucket is my preferred site for photo storage which will give your pic an image code.
Go to the faq's section when you can and have a look.
In the meantime you can email a pic to me and ill put in on here for you.

Add me to the list of mad Aussies on BYC I'm in Greenbank, Queensland. (just south-west of Brisbane) it seems there is little information on keeping chooks that relates to a warm climate on-line as most chicken nuts seem to live in very non chicken-friendly weather.

Thanks chooky, yes i have had several invites to join there which I have done, however I have so much fun here with mdbucks, purplechicken, wildsky,scrambled egg, lacy,justasnak and lots of other dear people that I dont need any one else.
I myself have all the breeds that I need, Silkies and ducks and from chicken keeping for 16 years I sort of know the basics so I stay here and help out where I can and just share in the crazy fun here!!!! laughter is indeed the best medicine and Ive never seen a forum community laugh and have so much fun as we do here, we also are very caring toward each other, In fact we are one big happy family!!!
Thanks again and good to see you here!

Hi, I'm also from Sydney. I have a few Rhode Island Reds and Australorps. I talk too much about chickens (classic behaviour) so this place seems to be great to have a chat!

Hey guys and gals,

I just joined up today. I live in Sydney and have dived head-long into chicken and duck world! They are the best and chicken-people are darn fine too. Birds of a feather flock together and all that!

It was tricky trying to find somewhere to buy some live chooks around Sydney! Everywhere wanted to sell me the cold and lifeless type or the well cooked chook type. I found some contacts near Richmond and Windsor but then I found Enfield Produce in the metropolitan area and got the lot.

The chicks and ducks are outside for their second night and my gf laughs at me because I worry about them so much. They were fine last night but tonight there is some rain...

"They'll be fine... They'll be fine..."

Hi Jimbo, welcome, are you in town or out "in the sticks"??
Just keep them safe from foxes. It only takes one night.
They will be fine in the rain if they are in a sheltered coop.
We dont have alot of the diseases here in Australia that they do overseas.
You will learn alot here.
Have fun learning and enjoy your fresh laid eggs.
Helen

Hi Helen, I live near Sutherland. Where are you? My mate who's a national park ranger told me there are about 10 foxes every 2 sq/km in the Sydney metropolitan area; hard to believe but enough for me to seal the coop against an army of red whiskery creatures.

I was amazed at how great the eggs taste! All those years of thinking my taste buds had worn out and now i realise that its actually the foood that has lost taste. These eggs are a flavour bomb!
