RECORD BROODS OF WEKA.
For four years I practically bred wekas (writes Mr. C. Lewis) when I lived in a hut at Parapara. Regularly one hen would hatch out three broods in the season, but now that record has been broken by a man living about two miles from my old hut. This season one of his wekas has hatched out four broods, and she stands by the side of the owner’s dog in the hut to be fed.
