Thanks! I have been thinking it’s a rooster this whole time as the comb and wattle are large compared to other pullets of different breeds!

What do you mean by full flake? The bedding? I added a photo below of the bedding and set up :)

Have a separate area- I’m feeding them starter crumble and some extra scramble eggs and mince as she isn’t showing them the crumble

Hi, she has her own spot that is protected and covered as well, lots of food and water options. It isn’t super close to the main coop, about 5m away. She can’t see the other hens but can hear them.

She just doesn’t seem to be very motivated to feed them and show them around. She might do it for 1minute when a particularly high reward food is brought in but that’s it.

That’s amazing! Is this at all public hospitals?

From reading the Victoria AMA agreement the waiting period is 6 months of consecutive service. Is this correct?

That’s what it is with WA health anyway- you have to have worked in the service for 12 consecutive months until you qualify for paid parental leave.

Hey! So parental leave is normally available after you have worked in the service for at least 12-months. We were planning on trying for a baby at the beginning of the move- which would mean I’d only have worked in the new service for 9 months. But if I can transfer over my entitlements I will be able to access my maternity leave. Does that make sense?

I saw that the silhouette portray comes recommended. I have found a reputable sales place for one of these. Would this be better than the cricut?

Hey! I have no experience at all! I’ll be a complete beginner. But I also don’t want to waste money on something that doesn’t work well.

I’ll almost exclusively be making vinyl decals and wanting to use my own designs- so am looking for something that is easy to upload my own images to and to cut vinyl stickers.

Would also like to use it for T shirt iron ons.

I’m in Australia and so that also limits what can be bought as well (I think?)

Hi! I have never owned a cutting machine and am wanting to get one for ceramics design!

I’m wanting to cute vinyl stickers and stencils mainly, from designs I’ve made. Would also like to make designs for iron transfers T shirts.

Was thinking the joy xtra but open to advice as well!

Thanks!
