If I was going to find one of the most expensively priced chickens these would be them.

Wow I'm not surprised first timers will pay a lot and think its cheap !

And Luke I harvested the chilli tree today lol

Apps if you do live in Sydney there is a brilliant chicken vet in Warriewood called Bryn - he is great (but probably a bit of a drive as he is on the Northern Beaches)

Apps I hope your girls are all better soon. I like Ash's approach though, prevention in small doses is preferable to having to deal with illness as it can be costly and drawn out. Good luck with her !

WOW, all that from 1 tree. That is great!

I have got the seeds and they are now drying ( they were already kind of dried any way ).
I now have 9 different variety's of chilli seeds here and maybe close to 1,000 seeds

this is supposed to be my test, as a beginner.lol.

I couldn't see my self paying $100 for a Sussex not even as a beginner, no way. I found it hard enough to pay $80 for my Marans and they are considered rare.

My neighbour paid nearly 300 for her trio but was robbed they were only black batters and 2 roos. She thought she was getting exotic Belgium blacks or some such. I had to leave so I didn't offend her by laughing too hard ! Poor lady had two hens and gave the roos away. And tells me " let's never speak of it again"

 

[IamSamSam]

Oh and that's not all the chillies I have baby's and flowers still all over the tree

Oh WOW. That is spectacular.lol. I would laugh to. Did she have a speak the sale's man or woman? I would be furious.

I hope my bushes ( or trees ) produce as much as yours.

SamSam, I would love some chilli tree seeds if they're still going happy to buy or trade something

Luke, how's the wormwood going?
