Hi there, just wanted to say Hi, i'm in South Australia.
We recently bought 28 acres and were building our chook area when a friend asked us to take on her 7 girlies as she had rescued them from the RSPCA, so quickly knocked up a smaller predator safe area and took on our 7 girlies who i reckon are your average Isa Browns, theyve settled in really well and are laying between 2 and 5 eggs a day...so earning their keep :)
We've just (this week) also rescued a 5mth old rooster - no idea what he is, hes twice the size of the girlies, also settled in well although not going into the coop at night so following the advice i've gleaned from on here and am putting him in and hoping in time he'll learn what to do....he was just loose in a backyard before so i dont think he knows what to do...he's dark chocolately brown with white flecks, quite a handsome chappie if i do say so myself.
Once we complete our proper chicken area we'll be adding to the clan :)
Loving all the tips and advice on here.

G'day - we have a large Aussie community on BYC, the more the merrier. There is also an Aussie thread "Australia, six states and one funny little island."

The Learning Center is a good place to start. From there you can branch out to forum topics that interest you.

If you have questions just ask. If we don't know the answer we will make one up -

Just kidding about that. Some very knowledgeable are greeters on this thread.
 
G'day, and welcome to BYC, Kat! Glad you decided to join our flock. What! No Australorps? That's unAustralian! I'm just kidding (even though Australorps are my favorite standard breed). :eek:) But seriously, Isa Browns are egg laying machines. Sounds like you rescued rooster might be a Speckled Sussex. If you want his identity confirmed, just post a picture of him (full body profile showing legs and tail), and we'll take a look at him for you. Good luck with your chooks.
 
Hello there and welcome to BYC!

Sounds like you have a lovely flock! And good luck with your new boy! He will get the hang of things eventually. Definitely stop by the Australian thread to chat with your chicken neighbors in Australia.

Great to have you aboard and welcome to our flock!
