Yep packed in tight in dirty small cages. I'm surprised there haven't been more complaints

me too

That is soooo cool. Thanks for letting us know. I for one had no idea we had LL team competing at that level.

I'll pay more attention and see if it's in our news.

We are a lot who enjoy our sport.

Take care.

Me either. I didn't think LL was big here so what would i know.

It was probably 8 years ago i got my drake from there. The guy went behind a big wood fence and launched this drake over at me.. Poor thing if i hadn't felt sorry for the poor drake i probably would have got in the car and left. Luckily he turned out to be a lovely drake but i promised myself i would never go back there again.

TGIF. Tuesday started off like any other day with the morning completely normal - only to come home and find two broody girls (Grace my buff sussex who I have always thought would be a good mum as she has always been interested and chatty with babies when I have introduced them, and Honey my marans araucana cross. Both girls are less than 1yr old themselves). I would have to tweak the living arrangements whether I broke them or let them sit, so I left them sitting with 2 eggs each. I did notice this morning though that Grace has acquired herself an additional 7 eggs in the last 24 hours and is now sitting on 9 eggs

. I'm nervous to even check how many are there tonight.

Wow, she sure felt the more the merrier hey? It's amazing just how determined some broodies can be to seek out as many eggs as they can. Are the eggs fertile at all?

What are some places in Brisbane that people can recommend for buying poultry, that also vaccinate their birds? Whilst not currently planning on adding to the flock, not until long after Aggies fully recovered anyway (and the dang coop is done), I will be adding in future. I'd love more D'Uccles, Pekins and a Seabright would be nice. I've been very tempted by Greenhouse chickens on facebook with their beautiful Mille Fleur, porcelain and frizzle Pekins, though they're in Logan. Bantams have become my achilles heel when it comes to chickens.

 

[MullyAly]

Yes they are. I swapped some of them out with eggs from my other pen so there will be a mix including french wheaton marans, blue birchen marans x wheaton, and araucana x wheaton marans. I will be separating her completely tomorrow. I just don't have the chance during the week. Her determination amuses me though as she is the only girl that the rooster can not get his hands on. If he so much as looks at her side ways she chases him off. Earlier in the week she even cut him off mid chase of another hen and gave him a hiding.

Have you marked the eggs you want to hatch so they don't get mixed up with the ones she steals?

Good luck!

 

[MullyAly]

I sure have. The stolen eggs would also be fertile but I figure I might as well take advantage of her services instead of the incubator for the marans eggs I had. This is also the first time I have done eggs under a broody so I am very excited (just wasn't prepared or expecting it to be now). The second broody is still only on 2 eggs that I know of - that may have changed by the time I get home.

Hey, Australia, the Little League World Series is now taking place in Williamsport, Pennsylvania, USA.  Your team reached the playoffs, I believe for the first time ever.  The Princess and I saw their last two games.  They have been eliminated from further play, but made a good showing.  You should all be proud and support the LL program at home.  I think that I should have been born Australian - those folks knew how to have a good time.  Aussie, Aussie, Aussie - Aye, Aye, Aye rang boldly throughout the stadium.  Congratulations on your team and the conduct of them and their supporters.

Nice, what sport is the little league World Series?

Hope you get a good hatch MullyAly!
