    replied to the topic Roosters for sale xx NOW FREE – Blue Mts in the forum Seed Exchange and Traders Market 8 years, 11 months ago

    OK, so no-one wants to buy roosters I know….. 😉

    But now I’m GIVING THEM AWAY! :pinch: Anyone?

    Almost 18 weeks but STILL not crowing – HONESTLY!!!

    I have 2 australorp roosters left – FREE – but must be picked up this weekend or they go to the big chooky farm in the sky …. 🙁

    replied to the topic soap saver and scrubbie set in the forum Spinning, Dyeing, Knitting, Sewing, Weaving 9 years ago

    Luvin – I remember the soap saver you made and sent me years ago – I loved it!
    It lasted for years too :tup:

    I finally learnt how to crochet last year (at the tender age of 41!) and recently made a couple of soapsavers myself for us and our kids. Not so cute as your red heart ones, but I will always remember you fondly as the original…[Read more]

    replied to the topic Gallstones anyone? in the forum Natural Remedies and Health Support 9 years ago

    Hi Sprite :wave: always good to have more contributions and experiences.
    Can you tell me what you mean by ‘gravel attacks’ ?? From what I have been told and experienced over the past 5 weeks the only way this can happen is if the surgeon did NOT remove all the stones during surgery. Not sure if it is routine but mine included a dye test to…[Read more]

    replied to the topic Hi from Sydney! in the forum Introduce yourself 9 years, 1 month ago

    Hi Crystal and welcome! :wave:

    Wow you have some energy! I also have twins (age 6) although they are our only children and I feel overwhelmed at times with just 2!
    (oh, and a dog, 7 fish and 18 chooks at last count – although I’m bracing myself to sell some of the chicks next year :pinch: )

    Check with your local council re: chooks as they…[Read more]

    replied to the topic costa in the forum General chat and catching up 9 years, 1 month ago

    Wow what a switch!

    Poor Steve Ryan though – wonder if he really got ‘unceremoniously dumped’ 🙁

    The show will surely benefit from Costa’s extra ‘oomph’ and earthy enthusiasm that has been lacking since Peter Cundall left.

    I think he will be more in tune with shifting interests towards sustainability and the current demographic of younger…[Read more]

    replied to the topic looking to purchase my chooks in the forum All things Chicken 9 years, 1 month ago

    I agree with espinay – check out BYP site for decent breeds if you want ‘heirloom’ chooks. Heaps of info on each breed and a classified section.

    Barnevelders are lovely looking chooks, leghorns can be a bit flighty (not the best choice if you have kids or want pets)

    I have Australorps, Rhode Island Reds and Wyandottes – can recommend them all as…[Read more]

    I don’t know of the legislation but boy, what a pain for you 👿 I’d be ringing another company or service by now if its possible.
    Hope you get some joy from them soon.

    Oh dear, sorry for getting all your hopes up!! :blush:

    But did you really think you were going to find a pudding with no fat or sugar?!! Wouldn’t be worth eating would it? :laugh:

    Thanks everyone for your thoughts and good wishes :hug: I got home late yesterday, the op went well with no complications but it was quite a bit more ‘major’ than I expected. Took about 2 hours.
    I am still in a bit of pain from the incisions (4) and the drain site (which was horrendous coming out :jawdrop: ) and also hurts when I breathe in…[Read more]

    Wow – I can’t believe it is nearly 4 months since I started this topic :ohmy:

    It is finally time to go into hospital tomorrow to get my gallbladder out! Luckliy I haven’t had too many problems in the waiting period, nothing major anyway.

    All things going well, I should be in overnight only and back home before I know it. I hope so otherwise…[Read more]

    replied to the topic 100g double pointed egg- OUCH ! in the forum Backyard livestock 9 years, 2 months ago

    Nice one Byrmark :tup:

    It just struck me how lucky we are as home-chook owners to get surprises like these — but what do you think happens to eggs like these in commercial settings? :shrug: They certainly couldn’t go into a standard egg box.

    I suppose large-scale battery farm chooks pump out a much more ‘standard size’ that could sell as…[Read more]

    Well, you guessed it …..

    it was a double yolker of course :tup: Unfortunately 1 of the yolks broke in the bowl, so it looks almost like a triple :S
    Very pleased with our Lady right now! We never get double yolkers so its a real treat, especially for my little kids who were amazed :jawdrop:

    What is it about this man??? Every time I hear him speak I have an incredible urge to run out and do something positive and worthwhile! :tup: He is so motivational but in such a down-to-earth (literally) kind of way.

    Thanks for the book info, I reckon I’ll be buying myself a present 😉

    replied to the topic Broody Isa Brown or is it a Rhode Island Red? in the forum All things Chicken 9 years, 3 months ago

    Nice looking ‘non-Isa’ chook there :laugh: I think RIR cross too. Lovely colouring.
    I have a new flock of pure RIR’s here just hatched 3 weeks ago (SO CUTE!)

    If your chook is serious about being broody and accepts the eggs (keep a close eye on her for the first few days in case she leaves them) she should know what to do when they hatch and…[Read more]

    I was going to sugges the same to Kristy but you beat me to it BV :tup: I’ve just ‘broken’ a broody by using the cage. No nesting materials, just food, water and a perch. She had been broody for 6 weeks (but wouldn’t accept the eggs we bought) 👿 and finally came out of it after a day and night in the cage.
