Sure

It's true, I don't have a specific time, address, 5-mth old pullets waiting for me. I don't know why it's so hard to believe.

Howdy folks

Hhhm, nearly 24 hours since I posted; work interfering with my social life again

Nice looking bantams devinandfeather, apologies that I am not able to help out with colours.

sjturner79 I love the colours on KC’s bubs .. adorable! We have had a couple of wind [or fart] eggs here in the past; they are cute. This is the smallest one we have ever had. That is a normal corn kernel and a regular bantam egg it is pictured with:




potato chip Enablers? Us? Nooo! [where is the angel emoticon when you need it?] ROFL .. yeah, as satay suggested, “Don’t forget picks of the chickens you don’t buy”

As no news is good news, I have good news, no news

Crystal’s toe still looks OK, no swelling, no redness, no heat, no signs of infection or pain. As it is nearly 5 days now, I can probably relax … poor little thing is nearly at the point that when she sees me coming she presents her toe for inspection

KC has stolen all the bubs diamond hatched now 2. Diamond is still sitting on her last egg.

Hi everyone in OZ. Just thought I'd say G'day. I have just become the proud owner of 4, 5 month old Light Sussex hens and therefore am new to Backyard Chickens also I'm a first time chicken lady and am enjoying them immensely. As we are coming into Autumn I dont think they will lay anytime soon (if anyone has an opinion on this please let me know) but they are curious and getting more confident everyday.

I live in Wagga and have been really worried about them in this heat wave we have been having the last 2 weeks but the girls have hung in there really well. I give them frozen water bottles every day before I go to work and they seem as comfortable as they can be in 38 degree heat! But they are waiting at the run door to be let out when I arrive home

Anyway, hi again and I look forward to reading you posts

Two of my girls...

A hearty

to you. You will enjoy every minute of your visits here ... heaps of help, lots of fun and laughter ( via the keyboard ).

Your new chickens are lovely. The idea of frozen water bottles is great ... keeps an area cool. And is that GRASS I can see in the foreground. ? I am wondering how long it will remain like that !!

..... I should enter our chook created 'moonscape' in some Nat. Geog. competition --- - it might win something !!

Coming into Autumn, ( if that is still a season in Australia !! ) .... chickens often moult - so your girls might have their first moult soon. Then again, maybe not. If they do moult, then you could expect eggs late winter, early spring ( on my calculations ) ..... my 3 girls are all in moult - so no eggs. Have to buy them

Cheers -

( especially the toe presentation bit ) ..... Glad her toe is much better - you can quit worrying now.

Your girls look very healthy . You should be getting eggs soon, have their faces started to redden ? The seasons are all a little topsy Turvey , my pear tree still has fruit on it and it has gone into blossom again. Sussex will generally go into lay at 4-6 months.

Oh dear - I feel so sad for Diamond, having her babies stolen from her.

They are adorable chickies .... and I do hope Diamond is successful in bringing her one egg left, to good life.

Do you ( just askin' ) then remove the 5 bubs from KC - and give them back to Diamond some way ( once the final egg is hatched ) ? Not sure how that could be done.

Except there'd be 6 chicks, ..... 3 for KC and 3 for Diamond - would that work ?

Or - am I on the wrong tram again !!

Cheers ........

Actually once the final one is hatched their will be 9 chicks, because KC should have had 5 and diamond 4. There are actually 8 in the pic if you can find them all.
