Australia - Six states..and that funny little island.

No storms here, just constant drizzle. Hoping it stops long enough to mow. If not I'll get on top of the ironing and bake that second Xmas cake. More wyandottes hatching and that rotten hawk took a splash yesterday. Chicken little is as happy as a pig in mud because I gave her a few to raise. She is such a little ' mother '.

No rain in adelaide :-( was supposed to but never did. Had to water the garden myself. Silly weather!

Wow appps, definitely sounds like you got more than 8mm!

Sorry to hear about your splash chick Fancy. Those darn hawks!

Ok pic time! Only 2 out so far, they must have been eager to come into the world. Nice surprise too as one is black

Yay so glad you got a black one. I lost my black hen recently so fingers crossed its a girl for you. I got one black yesterday so hoping it's a girl.

I wish I could pipe it your way! It is pouring down snow here now. Big flakes that look like snowballs falling. Sorry that the pic quality is not good. My phone camera is cheap. So, I am looking out my front door. It just started snowing about an hour ago. Very cold out.

Wow, I love to see pictures of snow. I am not sure I would cope with the cold though.

Ahhh!  Well she is so pretty!  I had a partridge cochin.  Loved her personality!  She was awesome, but did not lay many eggs (my only complaint with her).  Raccoons got her this past spring

I have 2 buff cochins lovely girls but agree they aren't the best layers.

I don't cope with the cold well! Always talking about moving. Never will though.

Bummer.. Hope you get some rain soon Aussie.

Was supposed to rain today but I dont see that happening...

off topic... chicken poop. Ive been putting it in compost bin but now thats full I've just been throwing it on the garden. Then I read that its a big no no.... so what does one do with excess poop if you cant really wait a year to use it?

Lovely pic @Outpost JWB .

Such cute fluffy butts @K Spot ! It looks like you colour coded your arrivals to match your hen.
