    Wild Emus at The Lilly Pilly Tree

    Those fairy wrens are certainly splendid! Why would Limpy Chick not care about an interloper? Does she consider it more to be GB's territory, maybe? And where IS GB?

    Things you wish you could say

    I haven't gotten any, either. Maybe because I'm registered as an independent?

    The way some people drive, being blind wouldn't surprise me.

    Wild Emus at The Lilly Pilly Tree

    Frustration. Chickens do that, too. If a high-ranking hen pecks a lower one, that lower one will take it out on one below her.

    15 week Buff Orpington hen or roo???

    The OP has not been on BYC since Dec 2020. Post a thread of your own, with pictures, and people will happily tell you if you have pullets or cockerels! :D

    Wild Emus at The Lilly Pilly Tree

    Greedy Emu is just a photo on my phone, and I definitely don't want to mess with her!

    Would you buy backyard chicken mutts?

    I would welcome BYMs for health reasons (my EEs have had the longest lifespans so far), but I can't have roosters. For someone like me, they'd either have to be sexed chicks (not easy) or pullets. Being able to get sexed chicks is the only reason I buy from hatcheries.

    Can I find out if the soil in my run is safe?

    Those maps are fascinating, @U_Stormcrow .

    Peck! She's such a lap chicken. Next hunt: a chicken or other poultry in the rain

    Wild Emus at The Lilly Pilly Tree

    Emus' eyes seem to be more forward than other prey birds. Are they predators or prey? Are emus ever banded to get concrete data more easily than having to recognize a bird?

    How Many Times Have You Been Pecked in the Face?

    I got pecked in the nose, lip (that swelled up!), and a few times on the teeth, until I wised up. They see the shine of teeth and eyeballs and can't resist. I agree with @BigBlueHen53 and @sourland: I value my eyesight.

    They're adorable! So tiny and fluffy. . . :love What's the next hunt, @peafowl_Lover ?

    When it rains it pours

    I feel your pain. It always seems to happen at once. I had 2 chickens die, a case of flystrike, and now the flock dynamics have changed and given me a bullied hen, all within less than a month. You and I will both pull through! :hugs

    Wild Emus at The Lilly Pilly Tree

    Do the brumbies (I looked that up!) compete for food with emus? I know you said the emus eat flowers at this time of year. Could the super plumage give any kind of evolutionary advantage?

    Thursday needs to hurry

    So exciting! I love the breeds you chose. I added a frizzle Polish to my adult flock of 3, and there were no issues, although I suspect that's because none of the girls think she's really a chicken. . .
