What happened to Mabel? I did everything you did except I put her in a plastic tub with hay and put a heating pad under the tub. I woke up this morning and she is almost lifeless. I know "She's just a chicken" but she's my chicken and she has given me hours of amusement. What do I do?

After years of wanting to live a better life I moved last year from London to a small village in Lochgelly, Fife, Scotland. <br /><br />I have my first garden and after a lot of reading I have decided to re-home rescue chickens (ex-batts). You may see from my user name that I am vegan (however not a real bear) so keeping the girls will be my way of making up for the time they spent in the production system. What about there eggs I hear you ask? Well they will be going to the family next door as payment for the mad guy living next door and turning the place into a mini farm.<br /><br />I just wanted you to know I have gained so much from reading your blog (note pad has not left my side and is now full of tips) I can't wait to experience the highs and lows of keeping girls and look forward to reading more about your new home and what the gang make of it.<br /><br />Well here is to early mornings and sleepless nights (I've already started having chicken related dreams) <br /><br />Yours <br />Vegan Bear xVegan Bearhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04759108957266108549noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8940220352192995003.post-65388472406592951972012-04-16T15:13:31.407+01:002012-04-16T15:13:31.407+01:00They look like they are settling in nicely!They look like they are settling in nicely!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8940220352192995003.post-1178643227174073182012-04-16T12:41:48.313+01:002012-04-16T12:41:48.313+01:00Ahh...Should have looked back before my earlier co...Ahh...Should have looked back before my earlier comment! I'm SO pleased. I too have a golden retriever who treats the chooks with complete respect (indeed, she loves them so much that when it's raining she goes and sits beside them on the patio, in the hope that her reproachful gaze will encourage me to let them ALL in to the kitchen)...I used to take her down to the run on her lead every day (she was 1 when chooks arrived) & excitement changed to indifference very quickly.I'm sure pup & chooks CAN co-exist - hope the process runs smoothly from now onKathrynhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09171138485811816831noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8940220352192995003.post-56108157648418172042012-04-16T12:01:57.893+01:002012-04-16T12:01:57.893+01:00No idea if I will be allowed to comment today...I&...No idea if I will be allowed to comment today...I've never managed before...but does this mean you've rethought disposal of the whole flock?

Th...This year has been quite overwhelming for you. There are times in our life when a meltdown is earned. Give yourself ample time for such pleasure once you have to release your grasp from the last one to go, Hon. And your family will just have to learn about the experience called "resilience and self-reliance" if need be - until you're up to par, again. So what if the child chose lima bean green blouse to go with the aqua pair of pants...and purple socks. I mean..really! Have you taken a look at the Goth fashions, lately? Lmao! LIFE will survive. So will you. So will the featherbits. And so will the family. Trust me. They'll abide. "If Mama ain't happy - ain't nobody happy!" Truth to life in the south over here! ;) Face your grief. But search for compensation in the way of something that makes you smile again! And by then - if the family has latched on to any sense of resiliency... they'll beg you to go for it! (If you don't see THAT happening on its own... be sure and MAKE it happen!)Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12121820035844661657noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8940220352192995003.post-49365319805281516712012-02-03T20:53:27.036+00:002012-02-03T20:53:27.036+00:00I know I'm probably a Very Bad Chicken Keeper,...I know I'm probably a Very Bad Chicken Keeper, but I put mine to bed tonight with a hot water bottle.
