Hello
See attached pic. Im not actually sure how old Ursula is, I got her at an auction about 10 months ago. She seems older and also maybe doesn't lay anymore, haven't seen her in the nest box.
Hi there
I'm pretty sure my hen is a hen, but is acting like a roo. But just to double check, these eggs are not fertilised right? They are infertile?
Cheers!!

Hello
I have a 10-11 month old Faverolles 'Tiramisu' and she crows! But it needs to stop/reduce as we live in urban area.

Thanks for the reply.

Cheers
Hello,

Hi there,
I live in New Zealand and everyone is starting to talk about the inevitably of us getting the H5N1 bird flu virus from Australia (we are close to Aussie and Australia is like our giant Canary so to speak).
But all our local chicken Facebook pages are full of unhelpful conspiracies...
@Tonyroo It has been very warm, 26 deg C+ for a number of days, but not too humid. We live in a slightly elevated area so only humid after rain. Are you thinking heat stress?
Hello,
New chicken owner here, I have an 11 week old Barbu D'uccle bantam rooster 'Morph', that is usually very spirited, but this morning found him in the coop very not his normal self. We still feed chick crumbles, they have an antibiotic in them 'coccidiostat' (Rumensin® 20% Millmix), they...
Thanks for your feedback! I will have another good look at the leg and see if we cant get something sorted. That link was handy for getting ideas, might need a slightly DIY option haha but fingers crossed its enough. Just want the little chick to have a good go of it !
