Nimue trusts me completely now. If I put it down, it must be edible. She dove right in. Niamh also enjoyed some but she had to run around a little bit first.

Try and trick them get them to let you pick them up.

It would need to be inside the coop to work - a general light lighting the area wouldn't draw them to the coop...... (or at least right outside the door but pointed in - so the inside of the coop is brighter than teh surrounding area to draw them there.

Are you saying that they should come to the light, “step into the light children !” ?

We put a broody Silkie in cold water but it didn't work on a determined Silkie. Locking out of the coop worked better for us. They're all different but by all means try what works for you all

I like to put my broccoli in a steamer, with hot water not cold water. (Just saying)

Great fluffy butts and I love your chick set up! Great idea, I may have to try a version of that when my next batch are ready to start integrating.

I am very worried about Sweetie, she is not acting normal, and feels cold, and looks pale. Not sure what’s going on there.

I should explain I had to come home from work to wrangle chooks this morning, I neglected to lock the back barn door and one of the horses must have pushed it open (Reenie no doubt), once I kicked horses out and dragged chooks back in I noted Sweetie was laying on the ground not getting up and moving around.

As I had to get back to work, I gave her some antibiotics, and half an aspirin at 11:30am. Then I put her in with Mr P so she could be under the Sweeter Heater if she wanted to warm up.

She was still not normal when I got home, still pale and cool. I don’t know if she got injured with the horses or if she is brewing some illness. She received some Tylenol around 6:30pm; when I head out in a bit I’ll give her more antibiotics.

These chooks are as much worry as the horses.
