    Panting baby chick

    Thank you! I actually decided to put him back with mum, you’re right I certainly don’t want to cause the poor little thing more stress without mumma. I’ll just keep an eye and see how he goes.

    Panting baby chick

    Today it was only about 32 degrees Celsius so it wasn’t too bad! The last few days have been around 27-30 degrees. I live in Sydney.

    Panting baby chick

    I was watching him with his mum and the other chooks and he wasn’t keeping up with them! Almost got trampled on, that’s why I removed him and put him on his own.

    The little chick has his wings drooping and is just panting non stop, it’s like he is struggling to breath properly

    I would say the temperature is quite warm, probably ranging from 25-35 degrees celcius. We are currently going through hot summer weather so I guess that’s good for the eggs!

    Broody chicken not sitting on all the eggs properly

    Thanks for your reply! Yes she is sitting on a dozen eggs. Should I remove some eggs in that case? It’s only been a day thus far. I didn’t think her breed usually goes broody but she seems pretty intent on hatching some eggs so we’ll see how it goes! I don’t really want to keep pushing the eggs...

    Broody chicken not sitting on all the eggs properly

    Hi there, I have a 3 year old Isa brown x white leghorn that’s decided she wants to become a mum and has thus gone broody, so we bought her a dozen fertilised eggs to sit on. She’s quite committed to sitting on the eggs, however, whenever I check on her I noticed that a few of the eggs aren’t...
