Hi I'm a new member. I'm in Australia and have had chickens for about 2 years now. I absolutely love my Girls, they are wonderful to have and have become a wonderful addition to my small menagerie! Along with the joy comes great heartache when some have been taken by predators, mainly foxes. I like my Girls to free range, although I now don't have much of a garden, but to keep them safe I'm having to keep them in their coops, until I can get a decent run made for them. I have a mixed flock of Australorps, Rhode Island Reds, ISA Browns, an Aracana, a Hamburg and just been given a baby Silkie. And have up until last week a Leghorn x Rhode Island Red. Since Christmas I have lost my Gold Lacewing Windott, and two gorgeous Australorps to foxes, then my Leghorn x died from shock, I think,a couple of days after the last attack. I am heartbroken, she was such a beautiful gentle girl! I run a Family Day Care and the children love the chickens and a big part of the day is spent collecting eggs, feeding them and giving them lots off hugs. I am after a pattern for chicken nappies (diapers) so I can bring the Girls inside so they don't miss out on their hugs. If someone can point me in the direction of a pattern to make some it would be greatly appreciated. Kindest regards! Love this site!
