Welcome to BYC! This is a great community with lots of support and advice.

You should also meet @Kris5902; she took in an orphaned baby goat!

Hi everyone,
I‘m Mel & I live in the Adelaide foothills with my husband and our 18 month old gold border collie, Duchess. We have 3 adult children who no longer live at home.
pour other animals include an alpaca (Angie), 2 miniature goats (Tilly & Casper the friendly goat), 4 saxony ducks (Beatrix, Jemima, Rebekah & Quakkers), 3 saxony drakes (Beau, Mr Drake & Cheese.... yep, my husband rolled his eyes at me too ) and 5 hens
Dottie - Plymouth Rock (she was sold to me as a Gold Laced Wyandotte hence the name and I didn’t know better)
Esther - Easter Egger
Valda - Barnevelder
Aurora - Splash Australorp
Aria - Araucana

and much to my husband’s dismay another 7 chicks - 6 are 4 weeks old and the other is about 5-6 weeks.
I think I’ve sexed 5 to be pullets but the other 2 are Wyandottes, a gold laced and a blue laced gold, and they have me stumped. For now they are both named Wyn... Wynston & Wynthorp or Winnie & Wynona

Patti - Spangled Hamburg
Venus - Vorwerk
Sadie - Speckled Sussex
Lylah - Light Sussex (also the older one)
Nell - Blue Laced Barnevelder

In my spare time I‘m a full time uni student studying Medical Radiation Science (Radiation Therapy), just about to start 2nd year of a 4 year degree.

Hi Mel! I'm in Adelaide too! Down by the beach but I love the hills

What a cool flock! Where do you get your chooks? I started off buying from breeders and moved on to fodder stores.

Hey, if you want to join in a bit of chook chat, take a look at my thread, MJ's little flock.

Hi, I get my chicks from a breeder down south, she breeds heritage purebreds and has all her breeding stock easily accessible for viewing and they are really well kept.
