Beautiful girls! How are you enjoying being achicken mum?

I love it! I had no idea I would bond with them so well. I have always loved birds and other animals, but I never knew I would love chickens so much.

Good. Just had the farrier here and mum forgot to tell me he was coming so I rolled out of bed and had to run down to catch my horse

Hi Folks, I'm new to this forum and to raising chickens. I found this thread in a response to my introduction post.

My husband, Adrian Kosky, and I adopted/rescued four chickens in May 2020 in Daylesford, Vic. He's got the experience, and I'm learning how to care for chooks. So far, so good! Five hundred and thirty-nine eggs, since May's adoption date!

Here's a picture of our chook house built out of recycled materials, along with pictures of the food and water system we're using.

The selfie pic shows a few craft items I've made since the beginning of the COVID-19 lockdown.

I look forward to reading your chook stories.

What a fantastic set up! I love your mask too

I have four Isa Brown chooks. It's hard to get them all in one photograph!

Edited to add: Sorry, I'm just trying to share how many chooks I have, but I can't figure out who to reply to. I'm sort of new at forum discussions. Lovely pic of the five, though.

Thank you. It is pretty hard to get them to stay put!

Don't worry about it. We are all learning as we go.

Hey fellow Aussies.

Hi Butterscotch!

Long time no see.

Hope all is well with you and your family, both 2 and 4 legged.

How are you? How is everyone?

All good.

My 5 are having great fun catching and eating cicadas at the moment. Are you getting many cicadas where you are?
