Morning all!

On the subject of poop there is a great page that shows u pics off all kinds of poop and explains how its nrmal or otherwise. Forgot where it is, likely the chicken chick or something similar. If u wanna have a look just google for it, itll come up

Welcome @Lavender11 and @EllaLouise94! Im sure u will love it here as we all do. Very knowledgable and quick responders for any issues and being aussies its so all so much more accurate info! Yep we all love pics
Crap thats no good! Love the bit about the ants tho i totally believe her there! Haha

Thank u both and teila for the well wishes and tips. I dont like the smell of deep heat and when i was pregnant i took it one step further and that became the smell that made me throw up lol. that was also at the time my hubby was using it everyday! Not for long lol.

So weve had floods hail and even tornados here in the last day or 2! My broody2 plus chicks still have been sleeping outside in the broody pen rather than inside with the others.. was very worried last night but they seem fine today

I had forgotten to ask how all you down south were doing with the rains etc. You will all be shocked to know that we have had 2 days in a row now with tops temps of just under 42c. We get get 6mm of rain overnight Monday night but could do with at least 100mm more.

Thanks . The more pics to compare when trying to diagnose your birds the better.

satay thank you for the tip regarding the gloves; I hadn’t thought of that and will definitely remember.

You sure that stuff does not melt the gloves? Lol

Fancy that is good news about your mare. Congrats on the bubbies! I can’t wait to see the pics of the chicks and the foal.

RodneyRooster I have been watching your weather, definitely scary! I hope it eases for you and you survive with no damage.

Tee hee .. I scooped Bazza out of the pond and deposited him in the garden; can’t have him overdoing the training after many many months of being idle .. definitely not rubbing Deep Heat on him because he strained something!

Thanks

lOL@Teila for the deep heat on his strains.

Yeah the most of it is over. Possible thunderstorms this morning but i dont think itll be much. The tornato was about 15 mins away! Our back porch area is filled with the dirt from our back yard and theres trenches made through our prperty as the back of property is the begginningof a hill decline. We faired pretty well tho, just 100m up the road the neighbours had their driveways and front porches flooded, one of them is raised luckily as thats the one that if it werent it would have flooded the front of their house! Lots of SES and police cars everywhere late yesterday

'Bazza' the cane toad sounds like he's making himself right at home

Omg the chicks are just montrous today! Its like theyve all of a sudden just doubled in size overnight!

Out feeding scraps just before and Miss Vonte doesnt hang around feeding the littlies anymore they just all feed themselves mostly, anyway although ive already said the chicks help themselves and no one batters an eyelid, today the 2 lower girls were chasing away the little ones when they went near a bit they wanted. Not full chasing them just letting them know it was theirs. Anyway after Miss Vonte had had her main feed and turned around and noticed it she turned around and did the same to them. No more trying to be higher in the order than my chicks! Funny as its very sweet.

Had a scare when I got home as both the roosters were standing over/next to Scarlett and she was cover in mud in a ditch and not really moving. Seemed like she was trying to do a whole heap of 360s in it but kept her feet out to one side. After all the rain and slight flooding i thought she might have been really injured, especially when the boys went off with the others and left her there and she didnt follow. Didnt look like any dust bath id ever seen. Anyway after a little while of trying to get a look at her in her strange position up she went and left. She was just having a swim in the mud! Scared the heck out of me! Little bugga.

U will probably all be interested to know that I have already named my favourite chick. Im holding off until i know whos staying and whos going and with that many of them after theyve finished changing colours/markings etc. But i couldnt help it. It just seems to fit her and I always go to call her that, dont really know the resemblence but he, it fits whats the name u ask? Teila <3

Great hatch! Ashburnham

Tee hee locknest4 yep, I do believe Bazza is pretty happy with his lot in life .. not so sure the goldfish feel the same way

Glad to read that the worse may be over RodneyRooster. Tee hee, sounds like your gal was just having a spa day .. you know how they reckon mud is good for the complexion .. the boys probably left her cos they were worried she was going to ask them “So, how do I look?”

Really? Did I read that right? You are going to call your chick ‘Teila’? [Or were you asking me what I thought the name was?]

If I read it right .. I have to ask .. does she talk a lot, is slightly quirky and a bit of a clown? lol .. that might be why it fits

Or has she been giving the Crows a hard time?

I love it!
