    26 week old Australorps

    Don’t have fake eggs but have golf balls, will that work? I do have a nesting box outside their coop in their run filled with soft hay and half of it is all dark. It’s coming into winter fast here in South Australia so thought they might not get going till spring arrives….but then again they may...

    26 week old Australorps

    Howdy, I have 4 australorps who have just turned 26 weeks. Still no eggs out of all 4. They are healthy and have really red wattles and combs. 2 weeks ago 2 of my girls started “squatting” when I was near by and today one of the girls keeps going in and out of the coop. Does this mean she’s...

    New chicken mum of Australorps

    Hello from South Australia. I’m a new chicken mum of 4 beautiful Australorp pullets (approx 15 weeks old). I’m a bit concerned they aren’t eating enough grower feed. They are free range and scratch around all day eating bugs and greenery. I give them mealworms and corn in the mornings and...
