wonderful photography skills :D

Thanks for that info :)

I have a friend looking for some 'reasonably priced Australorps' Her words not mine. I haven't a clue about costs or where to source some. Any ideas? Do you have 'lorps that you're selling? I can't remember where in this looooonnnnggg thread you posted what you have

Beat me to it, ROFL!

yep, definitely saddle feathers, they started two weeks ago. No crowing but... lol, his voice is breaking like a teenaged boy. No more cheep cheeps. My second in command rooster is really good with the chicks, male and female, he will let them take treats from his beak but the alpha rooster...

we have in past put some in freezer but as they were not really plump not much meat, they didn't go to waste though. Hubby keeps tellling me NOT to cuddle them... but I can't help myself and I DO get attached. Don't forget mine are all mixes, hardly a pure among them. I love the ones that have...

I don't want to get rid of my wee white rooster, he's sooo affectionate. I can't bring myself to put him in the freezer either, oh dear, maybe I am not cut out for this stuff. I should NOT allow myself to get close to them. He flies onto my shoulders or jumps onto my lap and loves nothing more...

SO WHO KNEW CHICKENS COULD BE MIMICS? Hahahaha and not only that, although only that particular video played afterwards I got the sound from other videos in the playlist! couldn't figure out where it was coming from

I have no A/C :( Yep, cold grapes, I buy them when they are reduced and that's a real treat for them. I cut them in half lengthways in case the younger ones try to swallow one hole, the massive ones I let them peck . Hubby installed a home made mister system this morning for them that runs...

Thanks for that, before I saw this I googled 'electolytes home made' and got one with honey, salt, lemon juice or any citric juice. I have been syringe feedin her it every half hour but only a few mililetres at a time, she will not eat, refuses even a tasty morsel but since getting her to take...

we had 44 in the shade, I dread to think what it was in the open air, we are lucky that the chook area is heavily treed so they have some shade and the shed shileds them from the worst of the sun but we stil soaked them and the trees a few times yesterday to help cool it down

On the opposite end of the spectrum I found a hen at 6am looking very droopy and lethargic, comb fallen over, wattles thinned out, eyes droopy. Tongue inside mouth looked dry and sticky. I am presuming heatstroke although we did all we could yesterday for them. Showering them down four times...

My two week old chicks and Rusty their mama have recently begun having supervised outings to the main run and indeed the whole three acres although she doesn't venture far with them. As you say in another three weeks she will invariably decide to let them fend for themselves so it's good to let...

You'd given me hope for my white chick. But now I see pointy saddle feathers coming in and a head like a porcupine. So sad for me as it's ultra friendly and demands cuddles

Firstly, Happy New Year to you all. ours was quiet ( I must be getting old) Secondly, my little white chick seems to be more male each day, the comb is still smaller than the other male chick's but bigger than the definite female. Thirdly, it's BROODys R US up here and with several hens...
