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

[Ashburnham]

Amazing how different the weather can be in different parts of this country.
At midday today the temp was 13 degrees, and we had another 10 mils
of rain last night that we certainly didn't need!

Rain finally!
Cooled down a bit.
Really sorry Satay, losing birds to the hot weather is terrible, there is only so much we can do.
I was worried about my babies a bit, but they survived.
The last remaining egg that a friend's broody was sitting on hatched on Saturday!
The same day, after dark, we put my 6 day old chicks under her and she accepted them.
On Sunday the big family came to my place

That's great Red. Glad the mama hen and babies are going well.

 

[IamSamSam]

Oh and you got some hydro from the sky !

 

[SydneyChickens]

Sam your chicks are so cute! They look just like mine

mine are 18 days.

Fancy, i wrote to you saying all is well here and said "i hope i don't jinx myself".. I jinxed myself

we had a big horrible snake, it took 2 of my baby Australorps

my poor mum had to stick her hand in the chicks little home to rescue the others, my mum is petrified of snakes, poor bugger. I wasn't home, had gone out to get the chooks feed and dad left their little roof open for them to get some air, I said to him don't leave it open if you're not around because.. Well you know, needles to say i was heart broken when i got home, my mum hasn't stop shivering from the memories and dad is feeling like crap.

In other news! Lol too take the remaining poor little monsters mind off the horrible torment the endured i listened to all your wonderful and much appreciated advise and put the extension onto the chicks home, they had their trip onto the grass and they LOVE it! It's so cute watching them scratch and dig in the grass and practice their flying skills.. As per usual i have included some pics

my Barne's tail feathers are hilarious!











I've since taken the cute, but very silly white balcony off so the chicks have more grass..

Sydney, really cute chick

.
So sorry to hear about the loss of your chicks and your families ordeal

.

That snake is really cool looking.
In the second picture you can see the lump in the snake where the chicks are.
You have a real cool setup for your chicks, top work

Does it inform you of this tag?

 

[SydneyChickens]

Hahaha - we aren't meant to like the snake, but my parents trapped him in the little house until wires came, i have to say the thought of turning the lamp on and keeping him for a pair of stilettos came to mind!.. Butttt that's Garry, Garry Diamond Python, he's been living around our houses for about 5 years, never had an issue with him and my bunny or the other chooks as their enclosures are all super secure, mind you the chicks house is too, just simple human error GAHHH!

He is a good looking snake and i did notice the horrible lumps

good ol' Garry has a new bush home now hahahaha. Thanks for the setup comments too, everyone here has been so helpful its all thanks to them!
