G`Day mate !! Glad to hear that someone else from Australia. We are in Launceston Tasmania, so somewhat cooler than your area. Have had alot of great holidays in your neck of the woods- it is beautiful there.
We are new to chickens - having only had them for the last 8 weeks. We have bantam australorps and columbian wyandottes in bantam variety too.
I agree this is a great website full of really interesting info. Have a great weekend

Yay 4 Aussies so far lol
Not that many of us on ere, maybe not many aussies have backyard chickens

Hi five for Aussie Sharon,Bantamence, Peepsnbunnies and

Chicken. Nice to meet you all!!!

We Have 4 Bantams, 1 Langshan hen and 1Cochin and 2 crosses.
So far we've got 5 eggs from them, but I'm sure its only one of the chickens laying them(Langshan).

If you see any other Aussies on ere tell them to head for this thread and mark their place in Oz!!!!

Have a Great Day Everyone!!!

lucky for you with 5 eggs! we are still waiting for any to appear

we were promised all female chicks when we bought them but now 2 crow every morning!! Now we love them too much to do anything and they have such lovely little natures, always following around the garden making their little chicken noises!! so cute

We had the same problem bantamenace, We bought 4 chickens from the local produce store, they were about 13 weeks old and the owner said that the 4 we had picked out were all hens but after about 1 week we started to see a change in them and realised 2 were rosters. My hubby said we can't keep them because of the neighbours, so we found a lady who takes unwanted poultry and she was able to take them and she also gave us 2 bantam hens in return which I thought was great.

We also were getting attached to them all but she told me that she finds good homes for them so I was relieved. Maybe there is someone in your area that will swap with you as well.

 

[bantamenace]

That is great that you found a swap. i have someone that is happy to take them on the condition that they will be dinner

We will see how they go a little while longer. Hopefully will find a good home so we can visit! Nice to have met you

Catch up soon
