Love the colour on those eggs Deej!!
I have a coronation in my flock too Choocklady. She is older than in the photo. A great layer. Your spring grass looks amazing. I am from Tassie. Moved to Melbourne many years ago, but still love the island.
Oh no appps! That is not good. Good luck with fixing it!!
Why hello chicken peeps. Been a while since I've been on here. Much has happened. I have been further developing my cuckoobaraucanas and i have some really nice chicks growing out right now. Am hatching some birchens out of some really nice black firls ive recently aquired very soon. Ive also just got my greesy chicken math hands on some really nice dark laying marans. I finally have some girls to pair up with my pretty rooster. The fold laced wyandottes are doing well and have just started to lay. One of them is laying a gorgeous pink egg with white speckles. But i have sold all bar 4 of my adult araucanas to make room for growing out babies so im down to 4 aras 3 wyandottes and 4 marans for breeders this season. A much more managable number i think. How is everyone elses birdies going?
I hadn't heard that about wild birds but some people have complained when we used to feed the betongs (nocturnal wallabies) but National Parks have told us to feed them apples, carrots, corn and we have found they love the wild bird seed we have put out hoping it would grow for the birds!!! Haven't put food out in years but they still come around and presumably are responsible for half eaten pumpkins and other vegies etc. We don't need to feed the wild birds as we have so many native trees - grevilleas are the best with bottlebrush a close second. We have planted a lot around the house area and have just come inside after enjoying a coffee on the verandah, in the beautiful sunshine as we watched about five different types of honeyeaters (including redcaps and blue cheeks with some other unidentified ones) and lorikeets of course. They are delightful to watch as they hang upside down working on the flowers. This is a wonderful winter we are having up on the Tablelands this year.
I miss my peacock. Used to breed them, and the last boy died last year at the age of 20.[/B][/B]
Good to see an Australian thread! This is my white growing in his third year train. I'm in the Yarra Valley, Vic.
The Coro babies have been mingling with the big girls. LG ( little George ) is not filling his dad's shoes.will have to select one of the cockerels out of this group.
I just love those beautiful coloured eggs. How wonderful! I got my first blue one today - and that was pretty exciting, so I can only imagine how rapt you must be!
Oops that was meant for Deej211.
