I have Broody Babes!!! Got home from Little Athletics this morning to see 2 little fuzzies with their mummy, I was so proud, And one of them has just a gorgeous red to it. Went to give her some water and food, only to find the ants had moved into the house and must have been after the egg...

im in northern SA, im in a larger city, But in an older part of town where the blocks are still quite big. Ive got a whole section of our yard that we dont use so plenty of room. Also there is an empty block next to us and the neighbours are a fair way from us so the roosters dont bother anyone...

He is! It will be interesting to see how any other chicks come out when the broody hens chicks come out. We got him from an old foreign fella with alot of chickens in alot of different colours, So i would think he is a right backyard bitzer. The darker brown hen was from the same place. We...
