    Caring for australorp attacked by fox

    O Okay. I’m glad to hear that she is not too bad. The skin part freaks me out... makes me think of the raw chooks in the supermarket

    When to put chicks outside

    Yes we did last night and it went well. Here they are. The youngest cuddled up to an adult silkie we have in the nesting box as pictured. Very sweet. They were probably happier sleeping with the other hens last night. Thanks for all the advice.
