Hi I'm new here, new to farming and in qld. I have coronation Sussex, columbian Wyandotte and a few others that I don't know lol. We basically have our chickens as pets and feed them as we don't eat the eggs and don't eat the chickens either, I know crazy lol. I also have geese

Welcome

Soooo some of you may have seen me recently whinging that i can't have chicks? Well today i got two! Arghhh so excited! The lady i got them off said she could sex them by their colouring i got a Pekin and a Wheaten French Marans e I'm so happy! Here's hoping they're both pullets! She said she'd swop them if any are roos..

Depending on the age of your pekin it could be a boy. Watch the comb over the next few weeks. If it gets a lot bigger quicker could be a rooster.

Luke, I usually wait until they are hatched and stick them under her during the night. But others probably do it differently.

Look at this ad. Would look really cute. http://www.farmstock.com.au/Classifieds/sale/333989.html

That's what I would do.

We feed everything around here..

Lovely Rexy. We feed all the wild birds too. We have black cockatoos ,galahs, rainbow lorikeets, finches, pale headed rosellas and king parrots as well as the magpies. Never had a problem with diseases.

We have lots of visitors, and because we are on the river we also see a lot of water life. Last summer we even had a seal and her cub laying along side the main coop. By far the most annoying visitors are the sparrows. They do bring in lice.

Wow fancy a seal would be so cool to see. I am way to far away from the ocean here to see any thing like that. We had these huge turtles wandering around our yard in the 11 floods. I am not sure how they had it up this far as it is a 10 metres drop to the water below off the back of our block.

Wow, glad I made a huge coffee lol 682 pages lol
Hey guys, I am new here, I live in Central West NSW, about an hour from Dubbo Yes you may laugh, a tiny little town called "Cumnock"
I actually get asked quite alot if it actually exists lol I hope so, or it explains why I don't get mail sometimes lol
No ocean or seals out here. Heaps of turtles, Kingies, galahs, cockatoo's, grass parrots, plus heaps more. All come in for a feed with my chooks and no problems at all
Although, Alfie, my rooster hates the magpies, he chases them out of the yard if my great dane don't get to them first
Awesome to see so many Aussies on here

Hey Satay, the horses didn't think so, I've never seen 3 thoroughbred 's try to hide behind each other. The dog yelped and hid under the shed. Just guessing, but I reckon none of them had seen a seal before.
