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

Hello Aussies!
It's been a year since I was in here, there are a LOT of posts I've missed in that time, so please forgive me for not reading it all and catching up to speed before jumping back into the convo's.

It's been a hell of a year, so I haven't been online.
Long story short, we lost my grandmother, some livestock and and all of our chooks around the same time, so I've been hiding away sulking miserably.
Poultry-less and sulky, I decided to finally get off my butt and do something positive with life again.
I'm back on the path to poultry parentage, starting all over again.

A very kind lovely member of this site gifted me some eggs and my hubby bought me some of my other favourite breed.
Currently there are 9 Australorp and 9 Barnevelder eggs in lockdown. Due to hatch any day now.
I have to admit, it really does feel good to be getting back in the poultry game. My new chickens haven't hatched yet, but they've already brought me happiness, motivation and something to look forward to.
Yay for chickens!!

And yay for Christmas cake!!
....but boo to empty bores. I hope you find some water soon. Fingers are crossed for you.

So nice to have you back with us. Condolences for you and your family and with such a crappy 2014 I hope that 2015 is much kinder to you. Hope all your eggs hatch .

A good hatch so far -

Oh what cute little ' fuzz balls'.

@Ashburnham - looking very sweet. I look forward to seeing pics of them as they grow up. It would be lovely to see what standard araucana's look like through the various stages.

I think Fancy says it all! Good luck with the hatch FreeRange

Thankyou.
I'm hoping for a good 2015 for sure. Could do with a good year.

Oh Ashburnham, such cuteness! Just love the little fluffy bums.

I can't wait for my turn. Eggs are starting to pip now.

Sorry for your loss. Glad to have you back.

Self seeded cherry tomato that I'm training up the verandah poles

Sam, looks nice. You should prune the new shoots to direct growth towards the tomatoes though. That way you'll get a better yield.

Awwww Ash, they are little cuties!
