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

Your BLRW's are wonderful.
If I ever breed another breed, it's going to be BLRW's or RLBW's.
Oh no. I'm sorry about Zues! He is so handsome.

Silly Question time!
Does Australia follow the UK standard? So there isn't an "Australian Poultry Association" ( APA ) standard?

There is such a beast. The APA was first published in 1988 . You can buy them online.

So we do have our own standard? and we don't follow the UK?

Happy Birthday

Is Mortan Island far from you? Have a great time!!
Better white than burnt

.

Thank you Luke
I think it is about 75mins on the water to get there on a nice big motorised catamaran. I have never been before so really looking forward to it!
It is definitely going to be a stinker today!
Hope everyone has a good way to keep cool and that our little feathered children stay cool also

Thanks Luke, but it was zeus's dad Hercules that died. Zeus is living on a farm outside devonport.
His first babies just hatched this week. Kungfu chicken lives on.

Motorized! But what about wind power.lol?
It's only half past 8 and it's already SO hot!
I have had to put a fan blowing over the bator as the humidity was on 78%!!

Are you getting the chicks?
A very Ancient Greek named line they are.

Tee hee Luke
It's 07:45 here and already 30! Blaaah
I've never done the whole bator-thing, just one hatch with a broody but I am very happy I have no broodies at the moment; what a horrible day to be stuck in a nest box!
Hopefully today is going to be one of those days that my Banties don't need to lay and they can spend the day in the cool, damp dirt!
Once again, got everything crossed for you ... bring on those bubbies!!

I like strong rooster names. The fellow that has Zeus offered me some of his offspring , but I sold all the hens back in October. I think I will concentrate on the blrw and coro.

Be careful with the misting. So long as it doesn't create a humid atmosphere for mould spores, it shouldn't be a problem. Mould promotes upper respitory disease.
