    The run is about an inch under water:( Everyone is coping ok except for the frizzle bantam. Feathered feet are awful. Not sure what we will do if the rain continues tomorrow

    Easter Egger club!

    Perhaps a drop of food dye in different colours on their vents for a day or two? My Cochin lays a very similar egg but it is much smaller due to her tiny size:D

    Go out after dark each night and move them to the roosts. They'll get the hang of it:)

    How How exciting!! I could hardly hold in my excitement when my girls got close to laying. Checked the next boxes 10,000 times a day. Is she squatting yet? All sounds like good signs:) My girls only checked out best boxes for a day or two before laying. Fingers crossed!!

    Yes three of our girls seem to have that harmonious relationship going on. My poor frizzle is definitely at the bottom in their eyes. The Sussex is bullied by everyone including the tiny frizzle despite being significantly larger than all of them. She's just a big push over!

    Frizzle thread

    Frizzles are very similar in their care to any chickens. They shouldn't go outside without a reliable heat source until fully feathered out. I'm not sure where you are located but you will want to very slowly faze out the additional heat otherwise the sudden cold will kill them. They need time...

    Rea Really? My Sussex is a sweetheart! Almost bottom of pecking order and loves her cuddles. I'd say it's partially in the breeding and mostly in the raising. My Australorps are the nastiest. Like a little gang. You should go and spend some time with them and see before you decide.

    So many vets are so unhelpful!!! Probably go with the triple antibiotic cream as suggested for now. Where are you located?

    Not sure as I would usually just run a girl to the vet 2mins down the road. They only charge $5 to see a chicken plus cost of injection. All under $10 generally. I assume that's not a possibility for you. Something broad spectrum is probably best. Suggestions anyone?

    Wow. Wow! Well done for persisting. With a wound like that she might need antibiotics. I know some aren't a fan of them but really it sounds like she's going to need help with an infection that extensive.

    Without knowing parentage I think you might have a waiting game on your hands! Lucky it shouldn't be too long:)

    Yep I have one of these for water too. Love it!! Just replaced the cup after 12months. Such good value. Eventually the sand in my run seems to wear it down.
