Geelong Australia. Started east of Melbourne. 5.3 apparently. Very unusual for here, quite an experience

Very unusual! We get earthquakes all the time here.(had one today) in California, but I didn’t feel it. Problem with earthquakes, is they are beyond our control, and a big one can do much damage or even cause injuries or death.

Exactly, can’t do anything, now they are saying it was a 6.
For us here being a bit away from the epicentre it felt like being on the deck of a ship, the whole has was swaying for about a minute.
Another pandemic lockdown, violent protests in the city and now an earthquake. What else will we get this week?

The scary thing is that the hen had escaped until she hit the fence and that's when it grabbed her.

It brought to mind Shad's advice about providing lots of cover.

Exactly. The hen was actually way less defenseless than I imagined - if she had, had a bolt hole to hide in she might have managed on her own.
I am however still convinced that goats are the answer!

I had to tube feed them with a little ACV in water, and hold them upside down till they ….. you get the idea.

I thought the hold upside down was supposed to be a bad idea because they are likely to aspirate.

Don’t worry, I’m not flying into Sydney anytime soon!

Sometimes that can happen. I took my chances.

Post on the emergency forum with specific information in title so people can help. I'm sure others here may be able to help but you will likely get a quicker answer there.

Thank you for that advice! I did that at first, and everyone was very helpful. But I think I will have to post again because it might be something else.
