Thanks, I'll look for that.
I remember, before I even had chickens, reading an article in a magazine about this guy that kept all these rare breeds of cows pigs and chickens ( probably more types of animals but I can't remember them now) but there was a picture of a pair of these chickens that he bred and they were THE MOST beautiful chickens I have ever seen. I think they're name was something along the lines of belgian bantam ( mille fleur ) I searched for them everywhere but could never find them. The belgium bantams in america/on this site are nothing like these ones in the magazine. I just wish I had written down what exactly they were called, the guys name or something, anything.
My ultimate poultry goal..... To find these birds and steal them.
My second ultimate poultry goal... If I can't steal them then I guess I'll just have to get them some other way. But however I do it I AM OWNING SOME OF THESE BIRDS.

Good luck with the Belgians - they are around,actually a friend of mine has some, but he is in Tassie! But they shouldn't be too hard to find, and yes they are lovely!

Oh gosh wooklet. Thats a funny story. We had to give one of our snakes a vitman B shot last year. Try getting a needle in the skin of a snake the slithers lol. The vets out here just get you the needles and tell you to go home and give it to them. I can see why now lol. (it was a course of 3 shots he had to have over a few weeks)

You have snakes! Wonderful! What sort of snakes do you have? I have always liked them but hubby forbids me to keep any!! I did a course on handling poisonous snakes once and really enjoyed it, pride of place in the house is a picture of me holding a tiger snake, it freaks most people out! I can imagine that giving one an injection would be really hard, no wonder the vets leave you to it.

Randhawa chickens,I had heard of that new web site I'll check it out today. backyardpoultry.com.au is pretty good too,it covers the whole of Australia.

No poisoness snakes for me i'm afraid. We have a 7 foot coastal carpet female and a 3 or so foot spotted python. I used to be like your hubby and terrified of snakes. My hubby loved them so he convinced me they would be a good pet to have now i could not imagine not having them.

It's been pouring all day again,so I need to lighten up! Anyone got any good poultry jokes? I'll start it off.

Duck walks into a shop and assistant asks him how he intends to pay for the goods. "Just put it on my bill!" He replies.

I need a good laugh right now..I came home sick from work...I think I need to go to bed again now.... I hate feeling like this.

 

[wooklet]

Get well soon, Ducky! Maybe jokes can wait until then!

I dont like having to ring work telling them i am sick... but I did it!! In the words of a co- worker... ( well that person doesnt actually do much work....) its no fun being sick on your sick days... I do believe that person was hinting at the fact they take them just for a day off when not sick at all... My what I have been inflicted with strike that person down. Now I know that is just being nasty..but I am not in the best frame of mind after the night I have just had...

Some more jokes are definitely in order wooklet..

A duck walks into a bar and says to the bar tender "I'll have a beer".
The bartender says "Hey! where did you come from?"
The duck says "I'm working the construction site across the street".
And the bartender says, "Well why are you working construction when you could be making millions in the circus?"
And the duck said "What would the circus want with a brick laying duck?"

post more later, just off to take delivery of my new Malays from Victoria!

Hope you get better s-o-o-n!

 

[duckyfromoz]

you get your malay's ..and I get toy ducks from amazon...

Lucky I was home today to accept my parcel.

Feeling much better now... but my blood pressure is high...first time in many years I have had a high reading. At the moment though I am not too worried- as its probably just because I am dehydrated.. I have been told though I need ti checked in a few days when i am completely better.


Time for another duck joke.. or two..



A man is driving a pick-up truck down the road with a bunch of ducks standing in the back. A police officer pulls over the driver and informs him that he is speeding and then asks him where he thinks he’s going with all those ducks. The driver says that he just doesn’t know what to do anymore. The officer says, “Look, there’s a zoo not far from there and that’s where you should be taking them. That will take care of your problem.” The man thanks the officer and drives off with his ducks.

The next day the officer again sees the pick-up truck once again speeding down the road. This time, though, all the ducks in the back are standing there with sunglasses. The officer pulls over the driver over and says, “I thought I told you to take them to the zoo!” “I did that,” said the driver, “but now they want to go to the beach!”

Three women die together in an accident and go to heaven. When they get there, St. Peter says, “We only have one rule here in heaven. Don’t step on the ducks!” So they enter heaven, and sure enough, there are ducks all over the place. It is almost impossible not to step on a duck, and although they try their best to avoid them, the first woman accidentally steps on one. Along comes St. Peter with the ugliest man she ever saw. St. Peter chains them together and says, “You’re punishment for stepping on a duck is to spend eternity chained to this ugly man.” The next day, the second woman steps accidentally on a duck, and along comes St. Peter, who doesn’t miss a thing, and with him is another extremely ugly man. He chains them together with the same admonishment as for the first woman. The third woman has observed all this and, not wanting to be chained for all eternity to an ugly man, is very careful where she steps. She manages to go months without stepping on any ducks, but one day St. Peter comes up to her with the most handsome man she has ever laid eyes on. St. Peter chains them together without saying a word. The woman remarks, “I wonder what I did to deserve being chained to you for all of eternity?” The guy says, “I don’t know about you, but I stepped on a duck!”
