We returned from a 18 day holiday interstate yesterday. I checked on the chooks almost as soon as I step through the door. Found one hen in the pen instead of two. Found the broody pair now has a third member and surprisingly an Australorp chick staring at me. It was not meant to hatch until Thursday. It looked strong and healthy despite the heat, so I left it with the 3 mums. A good start to the year, I think.

I tried to debrood this lot too but they were just too stubborn. So I gave in and gave them some eggs. I am just hoping that the heat in the coming days and weeks will not kill these chicks.
