    Australia - Six states..and that funny little island.

    Thank you Fancy! Yeah, we are fine, high and dry, just not able to get in to town for a while which is OK, we have supplies here at home, a small store in the village and a pub :p Some of the images coming out of Ingham are very scary and my thoughts are with those in town. Hubby, who works...

    Hey All, I am still alive and kicking! :frow While it is supposed to be the wet season, I would not say that it has been particularly wet. We did have to empty the water tank which was originally just plonked on the sand! Top workmanship there, what happens to a water tank on sand when it...

    Hey Chook Newby I am definitely not an expert when it comes to what ails chickens and I am not saying that your gal is OK, but she could be. I have a gal who 'loses her voice', if she has been extra vocal and she first did this back in May 2015 and is still with us [5 years old now] but...

    Hey Laylaloveschickens I have only transported birds within Queensland so I can not help you regarding quarantine etc. However, 7 months ago we did fly our much loved 5 x bantams from Brisbane when we moved because I was not parting with them.

    I have a ramp on my broody pen, probably not quite as steep as yours. The chicks have no problem following mumma down the ramp usually; the problem is getting back up at bed time. Mumma hen goes up the ramp at bed time and calls her little ones and will most likely run up and down the ramp a...

    Hey satay the girls handled the flight really well and settled in quite quickly. Sadly, no free range for them anymore; I have never seen so many Hawks in all my life! Hubby did build them a nice big run and coop so they have heaps of room and I ensure that they have lots to keep them...

    Hey Anniebee Thank You! I am sorry, I thought people might start to worry but I have been and continue to be flat out like the proverbial. The house and garden have been severely neglected for many, many years and being the only gardener in residence, the majority of trying to turn what is...
