Instructions on how to post a photo. First, you need to load your photos onto a website. The 2 most common sites people use are PhotoBucket and Aussie Chicks.
Once you've registered and uploaded your photos, for Aussie Chicks click on the photo you want to post so it's the only photo that appears on the page. Right click ON the photo and click on 'properties'. When the box pops up, copy the entire URL address that is there. An easy way is, right click ON the address and click select all. Then right click again and click copy. Close that properties box and come back here and open a new message. You can now either put that address in the 'optional image URL' box (right click in the box and click on paste) or you can click on the 'EBCode legend' at the bottom of the page to show you the code to put more than one picture per message.
If you're using Photo Bucket, find the picture you want to post. Under the photos are 3 boxes with addresses in them. Copy the address in the bottom box (IMG) and come back here and open a new (or existing) message and copy that address into the main window where you type your message. This 'code' is the same one you'd find in the EBCode legend. To add more than one photo, repeat the above steps. Only put one address per line.
Remember, if you are buying or selling stock, add your location and email address to your message so people know where you are!

A lady on the sheep forum I belong to has a few chooks and one of the Ancona's has just hatched some chicks. The mother hen is still in with the other chooks and she's unsure whether to move them or not. If she moves them, there's a high risk of the cat getting the chicks. I said that I thought it would be fine to leave mum and bubs where they are, so long as the hen isn't right at the bottom of the pecking order. She didn't say where the hen comes in the order, but she's the oldest hen, so I would assume she wouldn't be at the bottom. What's everyone elses experience with leaving hens with chicks in with the others? She's got a rooster, but there was no mention of him being aggressive. Although he does go after the cat if it gets too close. I know that some here leave nature to take it's course and I know others that separate religiously. I don't know what breed the other 4 chooks are as far as them being aggressive goes.
A few of the sheep people have chooks as well and it's hard listening to some of the breeds that they talk of. Ones that people here have been lusting after for years and over there (US) they're a dime a dozen. I'm sure they do it on purpose to make me jealous!!
Thanks for any assistance you can offer on the above.
Jane
