There'll be a lot of those around now, chook exercise catching them

I love watching them 'bug-chasing' The Geese do it with Butterflies too, which is hilarious as they waddle lumberingly about with their head going in all directions after the insect - never seen 'em catch one yet!

We must be due another piccie by now.
There's lots of wasps about and I get really worried about my lot chasing them about. Do they get stung if they catch one?

This thread has reminded me of the neighbour who owned a chook called Teapot! I can't remember the details, but I think they ran out of more conventional heat about hatching time, so the chick was 'brooded' under the tea cosy for a short while (I think there was still a teapot there, but no longer VERY hot).

necessity is the mother of invention - a warm teapot probably worked very well, I have used everything from lizard heat mats to pop bottles filled with warm water before now. teapot i've never used one of those - suppose the secret would be to actually buy a teapot first!!
