Congratulations on all of the wonderful changes in your lives!
You are going to absolutely melt when you see your baby interacting with the flock. My girl was barely walking when she began collecting eggs. She did an assist before she was two. It’s all so magical!
I wish you luck in getting your garden started, and your wife an easy delivery!

Thank you so much, it’s just been like a flood of good fortune the closer and closer we get to her due date. Like she’s setting us up from the inside! Oh, I bet and I can’t wait.. Daddy’s already wrapped around her little finger and she isn’t even born yet lol I may actually be in for trouble thank you so much for your kind words!

Hello! Welcome to BYC!! I also have a heeler but she's a blue! I haven't had much interaction with reds, but they aren't very common around here. We've also got a Newfoundland and a St. Bernard. One extreme to the next

Congratulations on your new flock and the wee ones impending arrival! All kinds of exciting stuff going on Please share pictures of the marans when you get them!

Hello and welcome! Congratulations on your new baby and your new flock. Good times ahead! We have a two-year-old and a four-year-old who love to interact with the chickens and help collect eggs.

Thank you for the welcome, aww they’re too good aren’t they!? Funny, where I’m from in California it’s mostly blues too. Just more sought after in the states I guess.. there are SO many reds here.. before we moved from her mum’s there was a total of 5 reds and 1 blue lol aww I love both those breeds.. I’ve always wanted a massive dog like that!

Thanks again also for the kind words about the babe! We’re over the moon!!

I will DEFINITELY post the Marans if/when we get them.

WELCOME TO BYC.​

Hi Christopher. This is a great little community. We are in SE QLD too & have been suffering smoke haze for weeks. Hope you guys aren't too badly off & still have plenty of water.

Hey, mate! Ughh it’s terrible isn’t it. I thought coming from California I was “used to fires”... NOPE! Sorry to hear that, unfortunately we’ve been in the same boat with the smoke/haze. We’re in Wyberba, what about you? We’re rural so we try n go off rain water (the two days we got last week for the whole year lol) but we’re just north of Tenterfield so.. nowhere near as bad.. for now, we have access to clean water pod deliveries. Hope you guys are doing alright as well!!

We're on one of the islands off Brisbane so we are getting the smoke from all the fires but no actual fires. You've got National Park nearby, don't you? Stay safe. Yeah, we were on tank water when we 1st moved here. It's a total pain when you don't get enough rain.

Congratualtions on the little one arriving in the new year. My grandies love the chookies.

Ughhh I feel for you! Yeah, we’re right next to Girraween National Park.. which is really scary but almost a sick sick comfort, only because we know any fires around us, the fire fighters will really want to contain because of the park... we’ll do our best to stay safe and you all do the same. Nd thank you, we can’t wait to hold our little squish! Cheers
