Hi to all on the forum. Nice to see a local group up and running - well done! I'm in Mt Barker - used to breed for shows years ago as a kid and would like to get back into pultry keeping, but I think I should start with some basic birds and make sure I remember what to do for them!

Hi Dougk, welcome to WAP, I don't think you will have much trouble remembering what to do for them, its like riding a bike, it will all come back to you as you go along

Hi dougk, welcome to a really great and friendly site. As horses7 says, it will all come back very quickly. Let us see pictures of your flock when you get them (we, well I, love pictures)

Hi I'm the new chook on the block! Just bought 3 x 6 week olds - Japanese Bantam, Silkie and Ancona Bantam. Would love to source Wyandotte Bantams (5/6 week olds) Any ideas?

Hi Newchook, welcome. You can start your own thread if you like and show us your new chooks. Sorry I can't help you with the wyandotte bantams, maybe someone else can later.

Hi all I am not a breeder just a chook lover and I have some gorgeous Australorpes that I keep - however I am starting to be intimidated by my roosters as one has started "attacking" or scratching me - I am now keen to give them both away as I have two little kids so if anyone wants 2 roosters 1 x black and 1 x blue Australorpes then let me know. Or if anyone knows how one stops roosters from doing this let me know - they are beautiful birds and only 5 months old. Is it because I have 2 roosters ??

Welcome to WAP mandimac, we are all chook lovers here, but you do need to start your own thread as this is dougk's thread as it gets really confusing and then people will be able to respond to your queries. If you have any problems starting a new thread let us know and we will be able to help you

Hello Beck, welcome to WAP, sounds like you have a good selection of breeds, any chance of future babies with your double lace banevelders, can you let us know how you get on with the ad dept, also can you start a new thread as this was originally dougk's thread. the new thread icon is at the top right hand corner. if you have any problems let us know and we will help you further.
