O Okay. I’m glad to hear that she is not too bad. The skin part freaks me out... makes me think of the raw chooks in the supermarket

Good idea. The two with her at the moment are leaving her alone but they are very gentle. I might make her a raincoat for the area for when she has to go back out. Bad or good idea???

Great ideas

We have a good setup which can be locked at night. I trusted my daughter to lock them up... big mistake ☹️. We are keeping them locked up more at the moment in their coup and run even during the day, not letting them put to graze. They are not doing much as they are in shock still. Feeding them...

Yep he did this morning

Oh darn. Okay.

We have a silkie who started crowing two weeks ago. He rarely crows and if he does it is around midday or late afternoon. Never in the morning Does this sometimes happen? Or is it likely to change as he gets older? I am hoping to keep my rooster so am hoping he stays like this.
