Laying Eggs On The Floor?
It's an aviary Kaz :hap: Given the aviary was only new last year I had assumed the pairs were young but it's a good point :hap:

If you want to give it a go wait a couple of weeks and then put atleast three nest boxes in there that way if there are dramas I should have some on eggs that I can foster yours under for you :hap:

Has Anyone With Kids Used Any Of The Tricks To Choose The Sex Of Baby?
Boxers favours boys, briefs favours girls Yes I know what you mean by girls being the default sex SW, that wasn't quite what I meant. It is easier to get boys because most people just go at it all guns blazing in the hope of getting pregnant but girl sperm are actually favoured by abstaining during certain times, etc. therefore by trying too hard people often favour having boys.

Has Anyone With Kids Used Any Of The Tricks To Choose The Sex Of Baby?
Well purchased some supplements today to take care of my 'deficiencies' ( ). I am terribly prone to anaemia plus recent tests showed my calcium and magnesium levels were low (which it sounds like may have contributed to me having boys!) So for atleast the next couple of months I am on: calcium(and Vitamin D), magnesium, iron, folate and a general multivitamin (which is low in the things I am taking as extra so it is fine to take them at the same time)!!! Atleast I know I am keeping my local pharmacist in business

More research say a hot bath before you do the deed increases the chances of girls. Here's a scary one for you: Hubby tells me that more often after the blokes have been off on the big ships their partners have girls because the big radars fry the boy swimmers!

Don't ask me, I hardly eat any salt and still ended up with two boys From what I can tell boys are kind of the default, while girls are a bit harder to get, so you mainly need to be careful with diets and dates, etc if you are after a girl.

Nah Denise the salty theory is only important for the woamn as it is to do with the affect of our food on the ionic composition of scretions 'down there' (since it will edit out the correct term) Boy sperm prefer an alkaline pH on their way to the egg so this is achieved by the woman eating lots of foods high in salt and potassium, whereas girl sperm can handle higher acidity so they are favoured by foods high in calcium and magnesium. Apparently tests showed that the blokes diet really didn't make any difference to the sex if children(but can affect overall fertility of course)

Well that doesn't help me at all Neat! I'll be turning 26 in December which means I won't get a girl month until June! And that ain't gonna work since hubby will be overseas then and not back until October! I think we'll just have to do as much of the other stuff as possible and take our chances . Short on time Libby because I only get the implant out in November and then I have to wait until atleast January to concieve and then hubby heads overseas in March and not back until October. The methods AV outlined above requitre a few months of monitoring your cycles so that you know when is the optimum time of month to concieve. We were hoping to time it so I was due about a month after he gets back from overseas all going well.

Yeah except it doesn't work for me because I have a contraceptive implant and I don't get cycles while I'm on it. The doc is going to remove it in November for me and then she wants me to wait atleast two months before concieving to make sure everything settles beack to how it should be, it doesn't leave me much time to work out the specifics of when. I'm going to look into the diet recommendations, apparently dairy and legumes are good for girls. Apparently a diet high in calcium and magnesium favours girls which is really interesting given at my last blood test I was mildly low on both these, maybe that explains my boys! At any rate I'll definately stop being slack and forgetting to take my supplements

Well there is only the one at Vic Gardens unless you want to go to Sydney I didn't know about the pet shop, what have I been missing out on!!!

I recall a study that found that women with higher testosterone levels tend to get boys. The ones that tend to get girls tend to be the girly girls, into shopping, fashion, etc. It's quite an interesting thing when you think about yourself. I'm a bit of a tomboy and I've ended up with two boys so far

Has Anyone With Kids Used Any Of The Tricks To Choose The Sex Of Baby?
We have made the decision to have atleast one more child but we are hoping for a girl( not that we would be really unhappy if it was a boy though). I know there are a few old wives tales floating around about how to get the sex of the baby that you want, everything from particular foods to other more :ahem: 'private' methods. Has anyone tried any of these and had success? If you have but you maybe don't want to talk about it on the open forum then feel free to PM me.

Cock Or Hen
It could be 6-8 weeks but in reality it looks pretty tame so age isn't too big an issue. Does she really not want a hen? Some of my friendliest birds are hens.

I still say hen

Actually it is interesting that the Bettas were the ones which survived. Do you have an airstone in the tank? I know the filter mixes the water a bit but the fact that the only ones which survived were the fighters suggests low dissolved oxygen, but the high temp would have also caused that to some extent too.

Melafix is a fantastic product and I can't recommend it highly enough. It is actually deriveved from tea-tree oil so it is a very 'Aussie' product

I think there is something to be said for a bunch of kids dressed in red trackies with blue undies over the top When I was with the scouts our performances always looked fantastic (we even got asked to perform at the Arts Centre one year!) but all the costumes were home made and all the work was shared around.

Hopefully a lower temp might solve your problems. I used to keep mine at between 22 and 24 degrees so I said 24 allowing for the fact that one end is warmer and one cooler. Unless you have a really high powered filter there will always be a slight temp gradient away from the heater, the fish will seek out the areas at the temp they want
