Hey there. Welcome to the best thread on BYC !

So what do you have in your flock?

Mainly australorps a couple of barnvelder hens and one beautiful jubilee indian. I have to keep these guys on my friends property because Im not allowed to have a rooster in town.

Looks like the food processor attachment size on my stick blender Teilia. It's just the perfect size for chopping onions and herbs too. I have to admit the girls have on an odd occasion had lamb roast and vege leftovers blitzed in it too . If I don't I end up having to pick it all back up and put in the bin the next day. They would never survive in the wild would they lol

Tee hee appps .. yep, my gals definition of the wilderness is the other side of the house where they cannot see their coop and where they very rarely venture

Satay, there is a young man down this way who is wanting a dozen fertile marans eggs, I said I would ask you if you post them and let him know. He seems like a nice young man.

Hey sjturner79 do you have LF’s or bantams?



If my gals see anything that is not bite sized “Run, it is a chicken trap!” 

I have both. Full size RIR, Astralorp and aracuna. Silkies and other mixed breed bantams. The younger bantams will happily attack things bigger than they are if I throw it into the yard.

Tee hee sjturner79, if I threw anything into the yard, regardless of what it was, their reaction would be ‘hand grenade’ … ‘Run!!!’

The only thing they will tackle that is not bite sized is a watermelon and it took me many, many attempts to convince them that IT was not going to eat THEM! Corn on the cob = chicken trap, corn off the cob = yummy

I will just live with the fact that I have dopey chickens

I don't know, that might be a smarter reaction, if I threw a grenade in my back yard, mine would all come to attack it.
