Hello and Welcome! Please check out the Learning Center if you haven't yet. Also there is an Aussie thread somewhere I just can't point you to it. I am in Ohio back in the woods with a mixed flock. Wish you the best of luck with your chooks!!

The aussie thread is "Australia - six states and one funny little island." We have a large Aussie community - the more, the merrier. I'm not certain how the chickens respond down under but, I think pullets laying for the first time - will do so whether it is winter or summer. Their second year the seasons make a difference to the laying schedule.

Hope you get some eggs but, not frozen ones.
