Murrayville farmer Trevor Wyatt is hoping to see a malleefowl chick this year after 60 years of supervising a nest on his family’s farm.
Wyatt was shown the nest at 6 years old and still supervises it now at 74.
Mallefowl hens lay 20 eggs yearly but only one survives to adulthood thanks to predators.
Chicks are able to fly within hours of hatching, meaning Wyatt has never seen a chick despite decades of caring for the birds. He hopes that this year that will change.
