I always just use wood shavings, the chicks I have had have never tried to eat it, they do eat tiny feathers floating in the air though :)

So have I!

Ugg! It's too bad you live in Australia I would LOVE to have some of you australorp bantam chicks Sorry about you hen :(

I've always had one black australorp at a time and they are always at the top of the pecking order but they are very nice about it, I hardly see them peck the other chickens at all

Yah... Toads do have poison glands behind their eyes, they can spread it all over their body. If the chicken eats it fast enough it won't have time to emit the poison , but if the chicken tries to kill it first the poison would have time to spread. Maybe it just doesn't bother chickens. With...

Yah, before I got chickens i would catch toads all the time, great big fat ones! But after I got chickens I don't see them around so much anymore, I've seen a chicken eat a frog, so the little ones get eaten :(

I dont have bantam Australorps, just bantams.

And mine started laying! But the bantams i have that are the same age as her aren't laying yet, most are squatting.

When were your chicks hatched? I don't remember how old they are, they were hatched March 9

When were your birds hatched? Before or after March 9? Wondering if my australorp should start soon.

I don't remember if they gave it to her or not. I know they didn't give it to my bantams. I think it's genes. I don't plan on breeding her

I believe she has alway had this color of eyes she is a pullet and when they changed from act when she was a chick I guess they just kept getting lighter. I got her from my pet chicken. She has not layed yet

What?! So if the eye turns gray, she has mareks? That is weird

I don't think my black australorp hen has a dark enough eye

My Australorps eyes are dark brown, would this be the same as "black"?

My pullet is around 15 weeks at the most and she squatted for me yesterday she's really small though

Oh they're BEAUTIFUL! You are so lucky, I would love to have bantams.

Definitely Rooster

No she is not unwell, her tail feathers just came in before her other feathers so they looked big... She has grown into them, for now. But soon she will get even bigger feathers. And then she'll have to grow into them.

my girls tail is too big for her! She's 11 weeks
