Hawk attack >:(and Brendon's new chat site is all the chooks are interested in at the moment . They have all taken up arms ......branches & spades(Red plastic Kids ones ) and they have called in the chook bikers "Fowl Play "again to get top protection . Also have asked the Turkey and Hippy the cow to move in for a while. We are doing what we can to help them survive the attacks . Meantime some are hiding in the house on the computer trying to work out how to register on egg exchange social site. They have seen some of their photos I had posted and want to know why they are not all on there and were are there friends??? MyComputer erested in at the moment

.Well the girls caught a hawk . Unfortunately they used themselves as bait and I lost another :'(silkie .The hawk got caught in the netting trying to escape. Hawk had lifted the only bit if netting not tied down to get in . .Hard to believe .I think it had planed to get out the same way but was disturbed buy the dogs who went for it .Again I was surprised by the dog who would never touch a chicken. The girls like the Idea of camouflage gear pianochook and are all behind Ronjas idea100% .They have now demanded ...More dogs ,a regular patrol and a set of camouflage gear each so they can pretend to be trees. I think they are planing to dress up and get your girls- pianochook to come along and visit Trev , fluffychook and a couple of other WAP members to see if they are recognised. Iv tried to explain that the netting is now all intact so they are safe............ but the said they are going to post a petition in site for all poultry for owners to supply the gear for all poultry. Spot the chicken.

My girls are planing on setting up a stall selling chocolate coated ants ...should go down well . :'(Had a few upset today seeing Lillis photo on piano on Brendon's site . 8-)They want me to post pics of the musical team on instruments on there but do you think ::)I can get them to stay still for a photo ....

off topic slightly, but kookaburras love to catch baby chicks, and years ago i heard a great fuss and kerfuffle and i went to investigate and lo and behold, but my girls had trapped a kookaburra in their shed. tehy were not interested in his musical laughter, just in the fact that he was after their babies, i went in and released him from their grip, and they were not forgiving of me at all.
since then i have kept out an eagle eye for kookaburras attacking my chickens.
they have also been bullied by the sweet warblers the magpies....................but that is another story

;D go ahead, Jacquie, we'd love to hear your stories!!! Kookaburras and sweet warblers, what's next?! you're worse than us! (joking apart, thanks for that info, another one to look out for!) No wonder they were not pleased with you releasing him, he was special guest at their party, cracking jokes like no other ;D ;D The magpies were probably called in to give them singing lessons and were payed quite a few bucks, so don't you go and shoo them away you know we need good singers!

::)Yet another bird to look out for thanks Jacquie . We have allot of maggie's on the property but they watch out us and for our animals .. ....probably because we feed them at the same time as the dogs and they think they are our pets ...the dogs occasionally share the dog bickies with them and if the ckooks are out there can be dogs, maggies and chooks trying to get the last of the bickies . ;D ;DYep !Jacquie ..You send those kookaburra's down to piano chooks ;D.Shell knock some sense into them and train them up as sopranos . ;)Expect a parcel in the mail Trev The girls thought they would send up A dozen crispy fried cockroach's and a box of chocolate coater ants as you showed so much interest in them . 8-)Pianochook the bikers"Fowl play " will be turning up at your place today to check the lay of the land for the mothers day concert/light-show .As you know they have been employed for crowd control .So watch out for birds on bikes
