After years of 'dreaming' of this way of life, it's now reality. Every moment is so full of purpose and our gorgeous remote property feeds my soul.

I look forward to learning & hearing more about other peeps in their paradise, on this site.

cheers and happy gardening

Mine have gone off lay too i was thinking it is too hot at the moment. with the one who is lying without a shell i read somewhere that the other thing that makes them lay without shells is a disease egg drop syndrome or a localised infection in the shell gland.

Dont know how how long she has been like that but my book say that you could put her on her own but if shes not right after a week you will have to man up and cull her.
