Thanks Sam. Pretty sure it was Thor. I came around the corner to check on them and saw the cage broken on the ground and Thor ran for cover .. He would never hurt the birds but I guess he wanted to check them out. He carry's around quails in his mouth if they get out while I am feeding them. He never hurts one just brings it back to me. On the cat front my cat is scared to death of anything with wings lol. When I had my Quaker parrot he used to chase the cat all over the house Put him near a chicken he is out of there. I do plan on getting another girl for the lonely guy in the aviary. Hard to find girls out here so far only seen boys for sale but will keep looking. The last girl in the aviary is sitting on one egg but whether she hatches anything is yet to be seen.

Appps I hope you girl is better soon.

Maybe put an add up on gumtree that you want a girl? Probly be surprised and someone will have one

Chook hope your dad is better and don't be too hard on yourself. Could have been you or anyone that it happened too.

Hi Everyone,
I haven't been on for ages! The chook family is all doing well. 9 hens and 2 roosters. Roosters = my old Ollie at 13 and still going strong and his successor Whitney (thought she was a hen when I named her!). Whitney still is completely submissive to Oliver, ha never challenged him so I obviously chose well when choosing the rooster to keep.I had a wallaby join my guys for a snack the other day, posted photos on a new thread to see if other pics about "non chicken dinner guests".
Anyway, I hope all of you and your human and clucky, quack, honky familes are well.

Hi Qld chook that's a pretty cool dinner guest


Guys, I got an ara today :-D found one a whole lot closer than the one I posted about. She's alot younger, only two months but should be pretty close to standard.
what do you think?

So, as long as the little black marans chick is a girl, once I pick up my chickens on Tuesday, I'll have my dream team

 

[Ashburnham]

A real Araucana Pinky? Where did you find that?


xxx M

 

[Pinky Macgyver]

Real? Sorry, I can't tell if you think she's good or being funny (hoping you think she's good) got her from a breeder in rosedale that was going to keep her to breed with but decided she had too many lavender. She also gave me eggs.

 

[Ashburnham]

Well - it appears to have bearding and a small crest. How old is it?

 

[Pinky Macgyver]

Two months. She said the bearding should fill out a bit and her eyes should lighten up some.
