In the emergency of a natural disaster where do you move your chickens?

Besides food price for all animals is very expensive

I'll bet a lot of things are going to be really expensive for quite awhile.

48 hrs and we will be on a plane headed for home. Yes exactly. Besides food price for all animals is very expensive

I save a fortune:
1 scoop ground corn
1 scoop cracked corn
1 scoop whole barley
1 scoop whole wheat
Add water from previous batch (if available) and top with fresh water a couple inches up. Keep reasonably warm and in 3 days feed half, 4 days feed the rest. I mix in 1/25 scoop of soybean meal right before feeding. 2-3 containers, start one every other day, keeps fermented feed in ready supply. Scoops should be sized for your flock.
Sprout oats and wheat 5 days.
You could save more than 50% on your feed bill by going whole/cracked grain this way. If you must add vitamins go ahead...but a little outdoor time and they will be fine. Remember also this does not have the calcium, so you will need to offer oysters to the chickens. Take the meat out first if you want.

Wheat is in everything, ferment and sprouting, because it is cheapest right now. Barley boost the fermenting. If you can get it cracked good.

Then of course you save money by eating their young.

Yes. aweful. Good to hear they are on their way home. Best wishes.

As much as Bushfires, cyclones, droughts, floods and everything in between are awful, these are some of the times which pull our country together, we truely become a community. We put all the hate, anger, hurt ect behind us and work together to support one another. This is when I am truely, truely proud to be Australian, forget our idiot government and look at what we can accomplish as a community.

You KNOW the us and Australia have a lot in common. British dumping grounds of rabble. Is South Wales tamed yet after the..."Victoria" was it?

I'm afraid I don't understand either Manhen.

New South Wales is the state directly north of the state of Victoria. We share a border, much like Wisconsin and Illinois do.

The rain wasn't enough to put out the fires but it has helped.

This map showed the fires around Australia as at 3rd January.

Here is a link to the website for those interested in keeping up with what's happening here.

Oh yeah and this poor fire fighter who was traumatised by the experience of fighting these fires was sitting there and Scott Morrison kept trying to make him shake his hand and when the guy refused he has now been kicked off the rfs brigade for not Shaking hands with the prime minister. Seriously? I mean what a joke! Our whole political system in Australia is a joke! Scott Morrison went to HAWAII on holidays while his country is on fire! That just annoys me.

think you may have your RFS guys mixed up, the guy at Nelligen who abused the PM out his window, it was rumoured that he had been sacked, a petition was set up and since removed, as it turned out it was suggested to him to take a break, as it was obvious he is exhausted.

Nothing more has been said about the guy you mentioned, unless I missed it.

Exactly, we are more than just our government, no matter how far down we are, our communities will pull us back up, the amount of donations to areas hit the hardest is amazing, from towns folk to big business, every one has dug so deep.

it certainly makes you proud to be an Aussie.

did you get much rain?
