    Could I get some advice? Hoppy (barnevelder 5 days old) has had wonky leg since hatching. I tried band aid etc as per posts on splayed leg only to find her flat on back struggling and not eating. I removed the band aid and now she's as happy as larry and scurrying around quite fast. Should I...

    Thanks! Sorry to hear about yr health but good that it's being monitored now. My husband was flown to Brisbane (we are in Hervey Bay and there is no cardiologist here) and taken to St Andrews.

    Newbie!

    Apologies if this is a dumb question, I'm new to this all. My broody hen has just hatched 2 days ago 7 out of 12 eggs (we bought eggs and they are all mixed variety.) She left 5 eggs today, they were all liquid inside so we think that's a pretty good hatch rate for first timer. She is in an...
