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]

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] -

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!

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]

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] -

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]

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]

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.
