All the babies turned out to be roosters, suprise suprise. We swaped three for pullets, but the last, I killed and ate (June 2010). It's not a pleasant thing.



Fluffy, now the proud mum, teaching the chicks to stratch. We did lose one. Don't know where, but we're down to four.






Then in Feb 2010 Fluffy (the white Araucana) went truely broody. We shoved an egg under, and I went to Vic Market and bought five chicks for $10. We swapped the baby chicks for the egg and hey-presto luckily she adopted them.


In the begining, there was one Araucana from Harry and two Isa Browns, to pump out the eggs.


Ben's into digging too (this is on the beach, not our garden, though we do have sandy soil).
