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

Thanks Satay, I will do that .. just checked the BOM, nothing mentioned in the outlook.

They have an app you can download to for a few bucks from the play store that sends push notifications to you phone. I got it just before the floods and find it very useful.

Thanks again satay ... Yep, for anyone else interested:

"Here we go folks our forecast confidence is now HIGH that a Tropical Low will form into a cyclone in the Gulf of Carpentaria within 3 days! It is then likely to cross the bottom of the Gulf and track South East to impact the North QLD Coast! The monsoon trough will also drag right down the coast to Mackay and with this combination bring very heavy rainfall from Mackay to Mt Isa NORTH with Rainfall totals up to 500mm"

Teila morning, they loved them. It had just rain so they were everywhere. Sad to see that's there's not many in QLD.

Anniebee hiding in the house and rodney her man out the front

Pretty sure this one is going to be called Teila (who else could i name the frizzy after ) but i'm not 100% on her sex yet but fingers crossed she is a girl.

Welcome to the Aussie thread chicken-clucky and SirTerris

.
Congrats on the hatching sjturner79!

 

[RodneyRooster]

Good morning Friends 

chicken-clucky yeah, I am sure your gals would have been very pleased with those treats.  When I was growing up in WA, I remember collecting snails from Mum’s garden but haven’t seen many snails in Qld at all.

Anniebee Mindy sure is a funny little chicken  ​

Aaaaw adorable little ones sjturner79.

RodneyRooster thank you … yeah, the girls seem to have settled a bit, two days of extensive free ranging has helped and today they will get some lawn clippings and more free ranging.

Blondie’s comb is still looking a little sore but appears to be healing nicely; luckily no-one is paying it any attention.

Those are some hot temps!  I am pleased to hear that everyone made it through.

Currently we are broody free and Cilla is only on 4 eggs since the last bout with broodiness so we have another 4 or so to go 

Yep, I was the book worm for a day .. it was so nice to be able to do that; can’t remember the last time I did.

Howdy SirTerris, nice to meet you and Welcome to the thread.  I am sorry to hear about your rooster but congratulations on the new little ones.

So, Saturday I cleaned the fish pond filter, that was fun, lots of slime; yesterday I cleaned the BBQ, another fun job   Going out to mow the lawns today and get the garden all pretty; tomorrow, housework; Wednesday, Christmas grocery shopping, Thursday baking and then Friday, enjoying Christmas Day with hubby, son, cats and the gals.

Seen as last years’ Christmas present for the gals was such a hit, doing it again this year .. a vol-au-vent each filled with yoghurt and topped off with live meal worms.

My neighbour flies out for a family Christmas in Mackay on Wednesday and I am cat sitting for him; in return he has told us to feel free to use his pool. Hubby is over the moon about that one.  We used to have one of those large, portable pools in the garden every summer but the tighter pool fencing rules mean that we can not this year and he has not been happy with dancing around under the hose 

Chickens are in for a treat! Yum. What a great payment! Pool every day! :-D

If ever you do come to Tassie, you'll need an umbrella , jacket , sunscreen and bathers. Not at all unusual to experience all 4 seasons in one day.
Yesterday was hot, then we had a hail storm hit while all the kids were in the river cooling off.
Then the sun came back out and wind disappeared so we could sit and enjoy our Thai chicken burgers on the BBQ.

haha awesome. Reminds me of my home town Mt Gambier, exactly the same. 4 seasons in 1 day.

OMG that is so funny and gorgeous and touching all at the same time! I think uve definitely made the right choice in naming ur frizzle after Teila lol. And it will be the only Teila I believe as mine was a roo and was sold last weekend.

They all look beautiful

Well earlier when i come out to give them some fruit i was also eating an apple. I was crouching down as i wanted a couple of photos of them bigger to share and Scarlett decided that mine looked tastier lol. She came up and started eating my apple with me clearly i had kept the best one for myself and she wasnt having it
