There was only two chicks, a green and a blue in that nest. They also had a foster chick a green opaline ( a grand child of Omelette's ). Checked them last night to find the mother with blood on her face and all three chicks well and truly plucked........head shoulders and back.......and two of them bleeding from the back of the neck. I immediately fostered them to another nestbox where two foster parents got in and warmed them for the night. Chicks are well today. Last night they were screaming anytime either I or foster parents went near them but today they have calmed down. Fingers crossed Edited September 24, 2009 by KAZ Link to comment

Different hen different nest...between last night and this morning the hen savagely plucked all five babies. Would have called her a perfect hen before this as she was so good !! But not now. I put two chicks in a foster nest and the other three in another foster nest. Link to comment
