Awesome! I love a chicken circus

I'm from Tasmania, and yes Safe from the fires for now! though we did get a 40 degree Celsius day on Monday! My primary flock consisted of -

• a Black Orpington hen
• a Black Australorp hen
• a Isa Brown (*in my picture*) hen
• a Silver penciled Wyandotte hen
• a partridge Wyandotte hen

And then I went to buy 6 day old chicks, and came home with 18 and then my Black Orp. Hen went broody so I gave her 6 fertile Silver Laced Wyandotte eggs (of which two hatched).
So in short its some what of a circus at my house at the moment!

I have a wyandotte patridge bantam. She is lovely. Sadly I lost all my Australorps.

Hopefully come Saturday afternoon it will be a lot less stressful at my place, of the 18 day olds (which are now 8 weeks old!) I will only be keeping 1 roo and 3 Pullets and have found homes for 1 roo and 3 pullets with my brother. so from 18 chicks I only ended up with 6 girls but it could be worse!

I'm down to 9 layers but hope to get some more POL come March.

How is she today? Any more odd eggs?

That is a massive increase in flock size,
I bet it is some circus right now. Wow.

A chicken circus is way better than a flea circus!

Sure is. Luckily of the 18 chicks (now 8 weeks old) I will only be keeping 4

We had to duck up to the shop right on dinner time.
This is what we came home to...
