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

@MaryJanet - Thank you and oh my, I couldn't picture being so busy with all that is happening. I have family who work for MetCash Distributions (IGA etc), so they've had quite a lot of Over Time packing and loading.

These are our two, Ducky is a Splash Orpington Pullet, and Dinky is an unknown mix whobwe thought Pullet, but have been told Cockeral (people keeping saying he is- though he doesn't crow(?)). Both around the 5 month old mark now so hoping for eggs by Ducky fertile or not as we only really intended on the food side

They have free range of 5 acres, but only really utilize 1/2 - 1 acre at most, and under the house isba great relaxing zone (we house their feeder and waterer there as they prefer it). And of a night they sleep in small dog crates inside~

Hey Guys,

My names Cassie and I was ushered over here by a kind person on my introduction post. I live in Bundaberg Region, QLD, and have a menagery of critters (2 chooks, 3 dogs, 1 bird, 1 cat, and soon 4 ducklings).

We've recently found out one of our ladies is in fact not a lady (bummer), but fingers are crossed the other is as we couldn't get rid of either.

I hope all of you are fairing well with this lockdown, and I'm excited to share more and get to know more people in this not so little community

Hi Cassie , I’m in tassie and the weather is beautiful.

The orp is definitely a pullet, the other is a cockerel.

Thank you all so much~

I thought I'd just share that we picked up our Muscovy babies today, near 3 weeks old and never been handled so we'll spend a few days interacting and getting them used to us

How and what age is best to sex a young duckling? We're hoping there's either 2 or 3 girls, rather than mostly male.

Hi guys, finally got my coop done and thought I’d post some pics of my chooks!
I still have no idea the sex or the breed so any help would be greatly appreciated

I believe there are about 3-4 roosters as they’re the larger birds but I’m unsure.

 

[MaryJanet]

I'm no good with breeds until they're much older, sorry. I kind of enjoyed the upside down pictures!

Hey, has anyone found a pellet the chooks love to eat? I've tried a few and mostly the chickens aren't keen.
