Australia - Six states..and that funny little island.

So I've noticed the past 3 nights that's when my chickens are in there coop for the night, I usually go out about 10ish to check on them before I head to bed, and 3 are always standing! They stand there with their heads and wings hanging! Why won't they sit down??? Or go on the perch??? Makes me feel super uncomfortable that they are uncomfortable! Is there a reason they are doing this, or would they eventually sit down during the night... Help!

Every night pick them up and put them on the roost. I had to for my girls. They will otherwise be ok. They won't do something that's damaging in that situation
 
My condolences...meanwhile it's all flooded around the Noonamah area up north here...so wet that the egg production is practically nonexistent.

Flooded, I wish. January is normally our wettest month with average 120mm for the month. This month in total we have had 15mm. Thanks it got to 41c yesterday and today is meant to be hotter, It was still 37c at 10pm last night :eek:

Sorry the flooding has dropped your egg production though. :(
 
My under the tree mama Newt hatched 5 beautiful healthy chicks, 1 not so healthy, one left out in the cold that died and another two eggs going that I popped in the incubator that she had left. The one not so healthy chick is already looking heaps better after being in the incubator for a few hours, both eggs are wiggling:)

gratz on the new babies, Glad your not so well one is looking better.
 
The hay is in the shed at last! 450 bales and I even managed to get a pic for you Sam. We were lucky this year, we had plenty of help. So I started the barby and we had a sausage sizzle and a beer afterwards.
Over the weekend I donated 5 doz eggs to show jumping and we ran out , so I went to woolies and the cheapest eggs were $4.30 . I was gob smacked! It's been a while since I had to buy eggs.
I'm hoping to have a nice day in the garden and get some pics of the newbies for you guys. I really need to paint this rediculous pink cubby that we brought in for the silver laced Wyandotte pen. It will be kinder on the eye , once it is manor red.
My sprouts went ' great guns ', so I've devised a system and have the next lot of barley soaking.

WELL DONE on the hay stacking!

Do you also grow fodder Fancy? I have some growing right now, it's only day 5 and I think it's ready! I swear you you could sit down ad actually watch it grow!!
I use Wheat.
