    I’m glad the buff one ended up being a girl :) Very sorry about the white one. May she rest in peace.

    The age old question- he or she??!?

    The white one is definitely a cockerel. The brown one is possibly a cockerel, though it is still to early to say. Update at 9 weeks.

    Chicks not hatched!!

    I like to wait until day 25. If it hasn’t hatched by day 25 I like to candle the egg, although lots of people just chuck it. Don’t give up yet, some chicks just take longer.

    Tips on catching a fox in suburban Melbourne (Australia)?

    Just be careful what you do since it is quite strict about how you can trap/kill/handle foxes and other animals in Australia. If you are caught miss handling them you can face a hefty fine. Luckily unlike most predators foxes aren’t as strict, but you should still be careful.

    Please help my Penny found her like this after being the backyard!!

    If it’s only one wing I think she probably just sprained or possibly broke it. Sadly there isn’t much you can do for a sprained or broken wing. You can try and tape it with vet tape, but that is really it. If you want to know for sure what’s wrong with her wing I would take her to the vet...

    Dry scabby lump on hens face

    Looks like it could be a build up of earwax. When my hen had that we used warm water and tweezers to get it out. It was just a long process of removing waiting a day and removing more as it came to the surface.

    Have you examined her? Since it’s night and she’s trying to sleep I don’t think you need to do anything except examine her. You can’t truly tell if her fatigue and closing of the eyes is due it it being night or her being sick. Look at her comb, nostrils, ears, eyes, vent, and check around her...
