Hi all, I live on the Central Coast in NSW, Australia, and am originally from Canterbury, New Zealand. I grew up with chooks, but just got my very own two silkie chicks on 3 October (6 days old), and two Plymouth Rocks a week later on 10 October (3 days old). I am having more fun than I could ever imagine watching them!!
As I work from home as a fundraising consultant, this is something of a distraction! 
The two silkies are named after famous dancers: Isadora (Duncan) and Margot (Fonteyn): and the two Plymouths are named after singers: Dinah (Washington) and Eartha (Kitt). Eartha is living up to the song of her namesake, 'I wanna be evil', and being quite annoying to the others, but I'm hoping she grows out of this!
I also have a husband, and two 9-year-old tuxedo cats, Marco Polo and Horatia.
I am extremely grateful for this web resource, which has already helped answer a few questions!
