Because my next pair are a couple of years away, I'm going to be enabling others in the expansion of their flocks. So: good on you mate!!! More chooks! More chooks! More chooks!

Hi folks, have a question... Can any of you educate me on weed burners, the propane type? Not even sure if they use them in Aus, but I'm clueless, but need one and need to learn how to use it. I have a blacktop (aka asphalt) driveway that the weeds are taking over. It's a quarter mile long and drops over 300 feet in elevation.

I've never heard of weed burners @rjohns39 sorry But I look forward to seeing what others say about them.

Thank you @Ribh !

Edwina (Olive Egger 20.5 weeks) is showing signs of coming in to lay, but I'm really hanging out for Alice's eggs (Aracauna). They are meant to be blue. Hopefully I'll have photos of coloured eggs to share in the next few weeks!

I'm looking forward to your coloured eggs @Aussie-Chookmum , I hope you'll show us a photo when the time comes

Ok! Here they are under the scrawny trees last weekend

It's a bit grainy because I had to keep my distance.

Mary the Australorp, Janet the Barnevelder, and Sandy the red layer.

Still no eggs from Mary. One every second day from Janet. 5-6 a week from Sandy.

They are so pretty! You should enter that pic in the 2020 calendar contest

Also, your “rug” is beautiful..... love the color!

Ribh.. your gals are looking so great... they are lovely Thank you. They have really calmed down ~ enough to just be plain naughty some days.

Thanks. Not my colour. I don't really like the warmer colours but I think it turned out well. Am hoping the person it was made for also enjoys it.

Oh that's a very kind suggestion, thanks! I'll try but I think it might be too grainy

@WhoDatChick : Look what I found!

And there are heaps more on Etsy! I just ordered these to hold the ribbon on the next blanket I'm making ~ for YD's birthday next month.
