NIGEL:
Well last night we were down checking on our chicks & Susan noticed that on Wyandotte was acting abnormally. It appeared that it was serious injured!!!
I thought it either had broken a leg, arm or back. It was lying awkwardly on it's side & made movements as though it wanted to get up, but couldn't! I was shocked.....wondering how I would deal with this problem. Several large Australorps came over to check on it... I thought maybe attack it as it was wounded. They just looked at their brother/sister (one walked over it). Then suddenly it stood up & walked??? Then it fell down again?!
Eventually, just stood again & walked off. We watched it for several minutes, with my Dad's help & it seemed that it had no worries at all? Very strange! Does anyone have any ideas on what was happening there or was it just then chick playing around?
They like their new larger feeder (see photo) & much less feed is ending up on the floor in amongst the pine chips.
