Hmmphh.....well , I must say that I've learned quite a bit about chook care from my local farmer's wife ( although have adapted some things to be a bit more caring for the chooks.....)
And so..... having been left in her care for 10 days I returned to 9 healthy chooks and was pleased that all was fine.
UNTIL...we had a quick chat....
apparently one of the gals had gone broody and "as it's too early in the year to sit on eggs" she decided to stop her.
Nope- none of the dunking in cold water or sin binning her ...nope..no messing around- she did the time honoured/proved method of putting her in a box with no light, food or water ...for 4 DAYS
..said it always does the trick!...I bet it does!...poor little thing!!!!
I'd have thought she'd have been dead with no water for 4 days!
Ah well....don't think that'll be happening again with my chooks
