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

Ok. Whatever. Tried to be nice and share plants and wanted to share some ideas but just getting shot down. Tried to be polite and defer to others' knowledge but I'm done.

Btw ash, I spent a lot of money on an incubator (I didn't want as I wasn't going to do it again after my horrible first result) because you reminded me you wanted to swap eggs and I didn't want to disappoint. Obviously that's not happening now.

Goodbye all. Been fun.

Sorry? What was that all about?

When my hens finally start laying, I will be happy to swap eggs.

Samuel my 2 year old nephew was taken with the gobblers and kept doing the turkey dance and gobbling for us all after noon he had us all in fits of laughter. lovely Easter yesterday

Pinky??? My goodness woah there. Nobody was trying to do more than have a chat back and forth on different ideas and share what they've done themselves. I was just reading along enjoying the friendly banter when you said you had taken offence.

Hope you just have a break and a cuppa and come on back cause I think everyone would agree we have enjoyed chatting with you and thought you were doing the same.

Pinky, Please stay. Like the others I am quite confused. I am so sorry if I have said anything an am truly sorry if I should know what I have said to offend you.
I would love to get some of your Wormwood and was just asking if It was worth me getting it, as postage has gone up considerably.

Please come back

Wait....what happened? Was there a mean post deleted, because I can't see anything nasty or that could cause offence! I am a moderator on another forum, and I have to say, you guys are SO MUCH nicer than so many others on the interwebs!
I hope it was just a misunderstanding that can be sorted...I want to share those pallet coop plans, too!

No nothing deleted. I think sometimes the written word can be misunderstood because you can't see people's faces when they are talking so meaning and intent can get confused. The joys of forums

Back to talkin chickens hope everyone had a lovely Easter. The kids had great fun colouring our little white bantam eggs . Much better than the darker store ones we've tried before.

Oops double post

 

[satay]

Dang, felt good about being useful.

Pinky, I think Ash was just suggesting that he could either get some for you or he could look around his own area. Ash would not of meant any offense to you. Ash has always been kind and willing to share his many years of knowledge of raising chickens with us all. I do hope you decide to rejoin the thread when you are ready.

Hello

I'm not quite sure how to 'interrupt' your conversation and I know I am coming on to the social page, but I really want to talk to some Aussies, and hopefully some in Sydney - so hello!

I have 3 gorgeous 2 year old chooks, as pets more than as egg layers, and I have 2 concerns at the moment - I'd love some Aussie / Sydney input.

1. I live near the bush and I'm being invaded by bush ( brush) turkeys. It's virtually impossible to stop them, I think. But I hate them because I think they bring lots of germs and lice etc in to my chooks digging / scratching area. Does anyone else have this problem?

2. My chooks are really fussy and I can't get them to eat their proper chook food - it's good quality but I fed them too much corn early on. I am trying to reduce all their other food to make them eat it but I feel awfully cruel doing this.. Any thoughts??

I've left questions on the appropritate forums but not sure if Aussies will see them. Any thoughts would be very helpful! Sorry if I'm in the wrong place please let me know.Thanks heaps : )
