Right if this works, these are my latest chicks, 10 white silkies and about 14 4B’s (Bolstad Bunch Backyard Bruisers, we’ve been woking on these for about 5 years). They are eating our spare zuchinni all chopped up.

Hmm…I need to add a preview feature to the forum. It worked alright on the Textile preview site. Let me fix that…

If you use photobucket it writes the code for you.
there’s a few chicks there ! do you sell them ?
once you have uploaded to pbucket (poster size) – tick the box below the album photo and scroll to the bottom and click ‘generate html and img codes’.
that automatically generates clickable thumbnails – just copy and paste here
I guess i will try photo bucket. I am learning as i go. And yes i sell them, i sell fat happy backyard laying chooks, andi sell silkies, both pet quality and i am hoping my investments in good bloodlines pays off, something worth showing. When i have enough i also sell Langshans, turkeys, geese ad ducks.
I don’t make any real money off them, just enough to buy some bulk chook food every now and again. But its a lovely hobby and along with the garden keeps me sane.
lets try the photo bucket experience eh?
So that was befor, now i will waddle off to get you a “now” photo of the garden marauder!
Go for the thumbnails. It makes viewing them much easier.
So here are my baby turkeys, ha ha ha, along with a couple of shots of the garden, its a bit tatty right now, as i am just too preggers to get into it as much as i would like. You guys were right, photo bucket is cool. Thankyou.
Great pic’s TM…where about’s are you?

TM Photo bucket works for BackYard Poultry as well :P.
wow – nice turkeys – TM
i like the natural looking garden as well.
my daughter is getting skinny looking eggplant – purple – but more the shape of a lebanese cuey.
Lovely turkeys, TM, their plumage is smart!

I am in Yumali, near Coonalpyn in S.A.
And to answer another person, yes i am getting big fat purple eggplant, YUM, the best fertiliser i EVER came across is cleaning the Duck/Goose pond out once a month (it is about 2 1/2 × 2 meters) and i pump it into the garden. It was much greener, but we got up to 51.9 here and i had a fair bit of sun damage. But 6 inches of hay mulch and layered companion planting helped save most of the garden, I’ll pop in some photo’s of my veg’ if i think of it when picking it.
Lovely clear photos Turkeymum…
Not “into” turkeys I’m afraid, but I loved your vegetable shots…
Looks pretty dry outside the garden. I take it your water is from a tank, or a river or a canal?
All our garden water comes from a grey water re-cycle system that hubby organised. I’d have a bigger garden but this is all i can water regularly. And thats also why the layered companion planting and mulch, so i can get the most bang for my drip. All bath water, all washing water and all dish water, gets put on the garden.
Jobs i need to do now, pull out the sweet corn stems/poles? work out if it is worth re-planting the turnip ( i can’t direct seed this garden, don’t know why, but i have to pot up all plants then when at the 2 – 4 leaf stage i can transplant to the garden. sigh I don’t know if it is worth putting in turnip or parsnip now, any ideas out there, I’ve got cauli’s, brocolli, 2 x eggplant, rockmellon, 2 x Cucumber, lettuce, silverbeet, cellery. rhubarb, butternut, squash, tomatoes X 3, zuchinni, sad sack butterbeans, detroit beetroot, capcicims, wongboc, and thats about it, any ideas out there, something bomb proof and O.K for april planting?
and by 2 x a thing i mean 2 varieties not 2 plants, just to clarify.

—————————
brussel sprouts, carrots, broad beans (try them direct seed – very big seed) and spinach (different to silver beet). rocket is bomb proof and other lettuces (raddichio).
of the herbs – dill and parsley are self sowing now and that usually indicates its planting time.
forgot kale (red russian) – its very bombproof.
