New website

November 26th, 2007

Apart from hatching chicks, I have been learning how to design websites. Have been a little quiet lately here as I have been up late each night finalising our website. Please check it out at www.ucanhatchus.com.au. I would welcome any feedback on this website as it is the first one I have ever created and it took me hours!!! Just three months ago it began as a blank page.

Chicks in Pen

November 10th, 2007

The chicks are not really chicks any more – they are now outside in their 2m high pen and now we are waiting for them to start laying us some eggs. My sons keep checking them every day. Luckily we have some older ones so they can collect their eggs for now from the pen next door.

The chickens are called hy-lines and they are bred specifically for laying. We find them to be a very friendly breed and, of course, great layers. We would certainly recommend this breed. People who book our hatching display are allowed to keep some of the chicks (as long as the keeping of chickens is permitted in their council area).
