Here's a couple of pics of some chooks n ducks, they're pretty good at keeping the bugs n spiders out of the garden and we get at least a dozen eggs each week.

Cant bring myself to eat those shop bought pale eggs anymore, fresh free range are so much nicer.... cant wait for the ducks to start laying :D

Here's Spider, and one of our ducks named Disco........ YES! they all have names :roll: :roll:

Here's Bruce, he's gotta be the biggest rooster I ever seen and yeah he's loud... no sleep ins here :lol:

There's a heap of chooks and ducks here now, some of their names are Ginger, Spice, Batman, Spider, Bruce, Blondy, Snowy, Red, Ruby and others

The ducks names are Debbie, Dallas, Disco, Doris, Daffy, Daisy and Donny :roll:

No! I did not name them, and NO! I'm not allowed to eat them :roll:

I used to shoot ducks :), you've got a few black ducks, a few whistlers, they can be a bit tough though. My other hobby cooking :D A nice duck stew tenderises them a bit, if they have been feeding on grain they are a bit better. I have taken 7 ducks with one shot, same with geese, 7 with one shot up in the NT.

[MacStill]

I dont mind the black ducks but those whistlers are fucking c*^%s of things, they eat everything and fuck the chooks up when they're laying.... if I had my way they'd all be shot and fed to the fish, redclaw and yabbies down the back, but the mrs hand feeds the bastards and loves them :roll: :roll:

Not to mention the king parrots and lorikeets that land on you when your out on the deck having a beer, then there's the fucking frogs at night when it's raining.... if anyone thinks it's quiet out in the bush they arent listening ;)

The only thing I have permission to kill is the snakes, because they eat baby ducks, baby chickens, frogs, birds etc etc etc....... but I like snakes, they're cool and I wont kill em ;)

This one was getting the butcher birds when they came down to knock off the dog food :lol:

My mushroom hobby takes up all of my spare time when i'm not brewing.

I grow Oyster Mushrooms and Shitakes of many shapes and colours. I also grow and sell innoculated spawn for those who are keen on the hobby but haven't got all the equipment i have like a flowhood, large pressure cookers etc.

I got into it in a pretty big way after getting sick of the $40-50 a kilo prices for gourmet shrooms at the shops.

The only thing I ate as a kid was bream, whiteing, flathead and mackeral. I love bream.........

[Kimbo]

Mmmmmm! That's a nice feed :D

[MacStill]

I think 5Star laughing at eating bream has nothing to do with how nice they are, there is certain people in fishing circles that would go off their tits for killing a bream ;)

The bream fisho's are a little passionate about eating bream, me personally well lightly fried in butter with a squeeze of lemon and a sprinkle of salt is the way I like to see bream treated.

Each to their own :lol:

[reknaw]

Why not kill them and eat them, we would eat the buggers all the time :) If I caught one now I'ld eat the little buggers.......

PS, my parents fished for a living. All we ever ate as kids was mullet, everything else was worth more money. Can't even look at mullet for bait nowadays without a shudder.

[reknaw]

I love mullet, oily but good in a bit of egg then in flour and fried, you want the sea ones though not the muddy buggers out of a creek........
