WelcomeGranny368W. I have Australorps too. I live in the middle of town (Butte, MT) and have 8 Australorps, 2 silver laced wyndottes, and 7 barnyard mix babies that my mama hen just hatched.

I sure am. I love friendly chickens. My girls follow us around the yard and look in the living room windows to tell us they are hungry.

That is too funny karlamaria. Welcome back.

Sorry about your flock DouginMT.

Welcome!

Welcome back!

Welcome!

Hello Cricketmt Welcome from Butte

I love my Australorps! I never thought about them looking like crows or ravens. I always have ravens in my trees here. I don't have to worry a ton about predators (except local cats and dogs) as I live in town, but my coop is built to keep them out. I have 8 australorps and 2 silver laced...

Hi Grizdad! Welcome. I'm doing my about once a year check in. Chicks will be for sale soon in the supply stores (Murdochs?) I like to hatch my chickens out every Easter here. I have never tried finding Laying hens myself so not sure, maybe just asking around with people who have...

My girls are looking pretty good now. I didn't get light in their coop early enough and they had a massive group molt. I thought the poor things were going to freeze this winter. I'm feeding free choice layer pellets, about a half pound of fodder a day, and getting geared up to switch from...

Congrats on the baby!

My girls finally started laying again, I didn't get a light in with them soon enough and they went into a lengthy molt. Oh and I'm back after a year+ hiatus, did I miss anything? :)

Been gone for about a year it seems. So Hello again. I've got an Australorp hen that keeps going all broody on me, so I ordered some silkie hatching eggs for her this week. Maybe I will have some easter chicks again this year.

Where did you get the worms! Video we need video! We just dug the worms from the yard, we have tons! I never really thought much about whether the worms from the store being loaded with parasites. We have fed those before too if we have them left over from fishing. I did post a video, did it...

Had the baby Australorps out for their first time today. They had a great game of worm keep away. We kept feeding them more an more worms until they wouldn't eat any more. Took the video with my cell phone so the quality is pretty low but we had a blast playing with the chickies!

have you looked at MT.gov and searched for bees? There is a registry for apiaries (I think that is the word) maybe you could get contact info from them. I plan on getting two hives next spring, doing all of my book learning on it now but it seems like all the bee books are written by the same guy

The chickens are really really sorry. They laid 7 eggs yesterday (I usually get 4-5) and even the little bantam laid an egg which she hasn't don't since she went broody a few months ago. All the eggs were laid before 4pm which is when i usually let them out so I don't think 7 is the normal...
