Weka question

[pennyJo1960]

Welcome to Backyard Chickens. This is a great place to explore and hang out. Does not seem they would be a threat to birds but a few friends would benefit the lone bird.

Does NZ already have chickens?

Ever since the 1840's at least!!! Does Big Blue Hen come from Australia and be pulling the proverbial (chicken) leg???

Weka is our native swamp-hen. The old-timers' saying goes, "To tell if a Weka is cooked, put a stone in the pot with it, and when you can put a fork in the stone, you know the Weka is ready to eat".

No, the Big Blue Hen is an American and I don't recall this silly question at all! It's possible I was BYC'ing past my bedtime and texting in my sleep? Yeah, let's just go with that!
