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!
I've got ducklings!

Hi everyone,
I just wanted to share - one of my hens went broody a bit over a month ago - whatever was she thinking! We've had frosts and nights down to minus four but she found a nice corner in the shed and was quite determined so I gave her five muscovy eggs. By this evening there were four fluffy ducklings sitting under her and one egg left making tapping noises but not pipped yet. I've spent the last couple of weeks splashing water or rubbing wet hands on the eggs every time she gets up for a bite to eat and it seems to have paid off.
Has anyone any hints about helping her to raise her brood to maturity? I've not had a lot of joy with some of my muscovies as mothers lately but I'm hoping that a chook determined enough to endure sitting in a concrete floored shed in winter in southern Tasmania will extend that determination to raising the little peepers.
No photos yet but I will see what I can do in the next few days.
Tanya
