Here are a couple of example breeds that I fancy. The first one is a wyandotte and the second one is a Sussex. It will, of course, depend entirely on what i can get easily in Canberra.I'd like a few different types so they all have there own unique personality and look which appeals to me greatly.
I also noticed (as i was wandering around this afternoon) that the cap stones that form one of my window sills had all come very loose. Have to go to the hardware shop to get some sort of mortar to repoint the joints and fix them back into place.
Now that its actually raining in Canberra again after 5 years I think I will have to invest in some gum boots for the garden.
As far as reading and listening, I am still reading Sabatini's The Sea Hawk and I am listening to a series of 50 lectures entitled Great Ideas in Philosophy. Bye for now!

According to Barbara Kilarski (author of "Keeping Chickens! Tending Small Flocks in Cities, Suburbs and Other Small Spaces") bantams in a cold coop will shiver themselves down to nothing. This troubles me a bit, but I guess NN was cold in winter too. We might need to factor in some insulation.
And stick to larger birds too perhaps larger surface area to volume ratio so they wont loose so much heat. plenty of straw though!
