The rooster is black and i have 2 black pullets and 2 white pullets,
so chickens coming out black, white or white with stripes or black with markings. i was told that i could get a blue silkie out of a white pullet and black rooster, but i dont think i have had one yet.

Light Sussex breeding pen



I do have 6 other pullets in this pen, but the others were shy, so will get some more photos soon. one sussex i bred last year has been winning champion large softfeather at the local shows! these pullets are 12 months old, a very good size!









FINally the actual CHickens for sale


This are the Silkie chickens, they just hatched today, they will be off to get their needles on monday, and ready for sale on tuesay.
the sussex are still hatching today, so they are still in the incubator. you can sort of see the mix of colours black and buff. i dont know if there are many white, will have to look.

Dingo Beach april 2007 holiday

Dingo beach, North Queensland




(Click for bigger photos)






Looking towards Gloster Island - Swimming enclosure, meant to keep out stingers out, but netting to big for the most dangerous ones, which are thumb nail size!! luckly the water was too cold for stingers so we had heaps of swims! this is (sort of) how big the bay is, beautiful, isnt it!
this is almost full tide. below it low tide.
(dont have photo yet, have to get one off other camera)











Us, at Bowen, at the big look out, has a really nice restruant with great views. photo looking back towards gloster island.





Aidan's first fish at Dingo Beach

on his second cast, he hooked this one and it nearly pulled him in to the water, so i reeled it in for him. he gave up fishing then, while he was ahead!
