they're so cute!
why's this??

Because, they .. uhhh.. breed like rabbits. They are a really invasive and destructive species in Qld

Hello fellow Aussies.

I've been lurking a bit but thought I should say hi.

I am from NSW Central Coast.

Welcome! What breeds of chickens do you keep?

Some experimental baby photos.
Not very satisfactory.

I hope everyone had a relaxing week-end, kids dramas notwithstanding. I have a deadline coming up so asked DH to pick up a bag of chook feed & he came home with a bag of medicated feed for the right age. However, he told me that the guy advised him not to eat the eggs for the first couple of week when they start laying. I had a look at the bag & the coccidis (sp?) medicine used is not registered for use in laying birds! I have no problem using medicated feed. I just think it's a bit much to expect me to not be able to eat that very first $500 egg that I've waited 20+ weeks for, never mind two weeks of eggs. What feed do you guys use for the 8-18 week range & does this sound a bit dodgy to anyone else? It's Barastock pullet grower - complete feed from 8 weeks to POL.

Welcome! What breeds of chickens do you keep?

A very mixed flock of 30! French wheaton marans, australorps, araucanas, wyandottes, pekins, a frizzle, a plymouth rock, a welsummer, a brown leghorn and some mystery mixes.
The australorps are my favourite girls, they have beautiful big dark eyes. I am hoping to get some faverolles soon as well.

I also have 25 quail, 19 lizards, 4 snakes and 4 turtles. And 4 orphan wallabies I am raising.

It's a bit of a zoo here.
