In the Brooder
Ok so this is "brave heart
" he was the first chick I got under a broody hen the others I could sneak them in. ( the landlords did the next night) as the belong to them. Brave heat had half his face peak at by mum on day one. She is Head hen is a bit rough & a bit of a bully and this is the first time she's ever had chicks I don't think she meant to hurt him/her she was just a bit rough but he survived and four weeks on Up until yesterday has been running around the backyard happy and healthy. We had our first taste of winter here in south Australian yesterday was cold wet and windy. The chicken are all running around getting food then Hinding under a big tree in the backyard where they all sleep. I found brave heart in the middle of one of the footpaths mulch not concrete he didn't run barely moved and gave me a quiet peep when I picked him up as I am hand raising two inside I already had a heat lamp set up raced inside and placing underneath and he did not pick up I've separated him into another box with another heat lamp and have given him a good water every 20 minutes overnight he is looking a little bit better. But is so weak can Bierley stand when I move him towards the food he just slowly crawls back to the light and is a lot lot smaller than the other four birds more than I realised. Could it be from the Head injury or maybe he's picked up something? he's not showing any symptoms of them being lethargic and weak.????
