    4 babies lost

    No I had the family together. The Hen, Rooster and the babies. They have been together from the day we got them (Rooster and Hen) and I didn't think removing the Rooster was needed. I watched them to make sure they were ok. I don't understand why they have been taking off. Only can say that...

    Are australorps friendly to humans

    My black australorp are a odd bunch lol. They don't like to be held and they always try to escape when I go to feed them.
