Just to let you know I haven’t deserted my chicken blog – my daughter had an accident recently, and broke the neck of the femur bone. She had three pins put in, and has been so brave at 13 years old to go through such a trauma. But the good news is that she is now recovering really well, and has returned to school.
Anyway we have had quite a good summer with hatching chicks, although a lot of our chicks died when they were around 8 weeks old. I’m not completely sure what was wrong, but I think they were huddling together at night and sitting on each other, and suffocating each other. They are now bigger, and seem to be settling in together. That’s all for now, I’ll be back soon with some more news.
