half dozen Posted April 26, 2009 Share Posted April 26, 2009 our excitement at getting our three chicks yesterday has turned to horror and devastation!! Just returned from shopping and went to check on mum and chicks and there was only two chicks there We presume one of the other chickens has pulled her through the bars on the chicken arc mum is being extremely protective of remaining chicks We never thought they would do this, we have now reinforced the chicken arc with double layer of mesh . Good news is that one more egg is pipping So sad,poor little chick,not more than a day old Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
