Carole from Georgia emailed me today and wanted to know how the poorly, bald bummed hen was doing...the one I had wrapped up on the draining board a week back.
Well here she is .....
Looking a little untidy but bright as a button!
And no more wounds!.....she even laid an egg a few days ago

ReplyDeleteBake Off will never be quite the same now.
She knows she is in good hands…well done nurse John.X
ReplyDeleteA bit of TLC and most hens will arise from the brink I find. Our new ones laid their first egg yesterday - and a reasonable sized one too.
ReplyDeleteShe looks like a tatty version of my two girls. John, how long do hens live, generally? I want to get another dog at sometime after my gorgeous girl left me a few months back. She loved all creatures and never looked at the girls with any dark thoughts. I wouldn't expect to find another dog quite like her. The situation is complicated by the fact the chooks no longer use their coop, free range in the backyard during the day and live up the plum tree at night. I couldn't bear having to lock them up, again so I'll most likely wait until they've lived out their lives before getting another dog. I'm just wondering how long I might have to wait!
ReplyDeleteAll my dogs have been introduced to the hens and sheep and geese. They all ignore each other
DeleteAs for hens they live henerally 2-3 years pure breeds can live longer
She looks great! Speaking of Mary Berry, are you watching her new cooking show? We watched it last night. Dave strongly disagreed with her method for cooking fish.
ReplyDeleteLovely girl! Healing bottom :)
ReplyDeleteWhat fantastic news! She looks delightful...
ReplyDeleteGlad to hear she's faring well so far.
ReplyDeleteAwww. I needed that.
ReplyDeleteGo Mary go!
