    Chook still broody after adopting

    Thanks for the reply. I think I will let them out today and just keep an eye on them. It has been really hot these last few days, so didn't want them going too far from water. But cooled down today. The cage is big enough for them all to roam and the chicks are now scratching around and moving...

    Chook still broody after adopting

    It's 1.5 x 1.5m, deffinetly big enough for her to move around. I'm just worried if I let them out, she'll move back to her old nest, which the chicks won't be able to get to her then. Deffinetly not cold, 41°C yesterday and 35°C today 😅 No rooster. Quote Reply Report •••

    Chicken falling over

    I have a year old Wyandotte who keeps falling over. When I stand her back up, she seems to be a little wobbly for the first step, but then fine. She walks around fine, but holds her tail and wings a little lower than usual. Sometime she walks for 5 minutes before falling to the side again...
