Australians - Where are you all????

[GriggerMcGrigg]

I have a dark barred Plymouth Rock, a golden laced Wyandotte and an Isa Brown. My Plymouth Rock went broody so I put two araucana eggs under her and I now have a black hen and a lavender rooster!

We keep chooks, have a bit of a few breeds. Light Sussex, RIR, Araucana, 'Lorp, Silver Penciled 'Dote's and a Barnevelder. We have the incubator loaded up at the moment with 23 'EE' type mixes' and four pure breeds, French Wheaten Marans, Salmon Fav's, more coloured 'Lorps and Wellie's.

Can't wait for them to hatch

Aww, what an adorable picture! Those chicks are very cute

Okay so my Plymouth Rock and her chicks went outside for the first time today but I had to put them away again cause my Isa Brown is pecking the chicks, sometimes lifting them in the air. I take it she would peck them to death given a chance. The 'mum' doesn't seem to notice or care but if I go near them she goes on full guard. I know all chickens would act differently but will the Isa Brown always peck them or will the be able to integrate eventually?

i would keep them separate to keep them safe til they are bigger and can get away. it must have been aweful to see it tossed through the air poor lil baby.

another aussie here!

currently living in FNQ but moving to the south Australian coast, hopefully before I die from this heat. I've eaten emu, crocodile which I loooove, kangaroo which I feed to my chooks as its fat free and high in iron and protein, snake, turtle, dugong, green ants and scorpion. To every visitor, I highly recommend fresh ocean caught barramundi I have 15 assorted hens, Silkie, pekin, araucana, turken, sussex, and commercial layers, 1 adorable silkie x cockerel, and turkey egg under a silkie. my dog Banjo guards the chooks, and my 5 yr old daughter keeps them on their toes ^.^

I've eaten Emu and Kangaroo.  /img/smilies/big_smile.png

We had emu when we were visiting my Mum in Victoria ( she lives in the Grampains area )  It reminded me a bit of an ostrich burger.  Not bad at all and my kids liked it.


The last time we were in QLD visting my Grandfather we had Kangaroo steaks.  They had them at the supermarket on Bribie Island.  Not bad but a little on the tough side.  We had them on the barbie and might have cooked them a little too long.  I'd eat them again if we found a bit better way to cook them.


Never had croc though.
