Getting the flock out of here - a diary of a crazy chicken man

[Sweetpea3829]

Most kids have no long term after effect from febrile seizures so I wish him well.

He can sure make a great face though!!


Our 18 moth old that we are adopting is an early talker to the extreme. He enunciates every word - even multi-syllable words.

Last week when his older sister was going to go to school - Mrs oz was worried he would want to go. He come out with: "Now Mummy, remember you told me last week that I gould not go to school yet because I am just a little kid? Well its OK"

18 months of age... He is very amusing. "Daddy are you coming home today? Well just let me know when you need me to pick you up from the airport"

He seems to be just fine from the whole experience. Scared the hoo haa out of us, though. His personality change might just be a coincidence and not related to the seizures...his daddy has a very similar personality (very serious, stoic, no nonsense...but there's a really goofy streak there, too).

That's quite a smart kiddo you've got there, Oz! He'll keep you on your toes! My 6 yr old boy is like that...and he outsmarts me quite often.

When I first saw Ayam Cerami, I started to google and found some in Northern Europe. Indonesia was colonized by the Dutch so I am pretty sure some probably came back in diplomatic pouches.

There is a breeders club in Sweden that I found as well.

Greenfire Farms loves to locate breeds that are a little different, hype them up and make great money out of them. Its an excellent business strategy. 5000 dollars for a juvenile pair is a bit over the top though I am sure enough collectors have put down their 100 buck deposit to make their initial investment back.

Using legal intermediary countries is the way to go if you wanted to import to USA or OZ - but to get a breed into Australia would take loads of cash. The quarantine process is mind boggling. You just may get your hatched eggs in time for point of lay. Coming from Oz to USA is quite easy. Greenfire farms brought their first imported chickens from Australia - Silver and Coronation Sussex.

Check this site Oz he/she sell only Trios
