Single hen

[vetty82]

Today, in the lovely sunshine, we were doing our big monthly clean of the cube and I was raking out the poo and rubbish from the run as you do.....

 

So there was me crouched down, leaning forwards into the run and I said to DH, I hope one of the chickens doesn't peck my back (my t-shirt was riding up a little bit so my back was a bit bare). Literally no less than 2 seconds later, Tikka walked by and pecked my back - but not in a nasty way oh no.....she was removing a lovely raised mole I had on my back!

 

It bled a little and I went to the local A&E just to get it checked and ended up spending 4 hours in the hospital and my GP surgery. They couldn't work out whether to give me a tetanus injection and were ummmming and ahhhing for ages.

 

Eventually they did decide to give me one being that I'd not had a tetanus jab in the last 23 years. So my back is all patched up with gauze and stuff to protect it while it heals and my arm is killing from the injection!

 

Although the best bit of the whole thing as I was leaving my GP said to me, "That chicken of yours....she's done a good job, in fact she's done a better job than some surgeons would have done. It's a nice clean removal, she's not even punctured your skin!"

 

So Tikka is now the most trained in the family....Tikka Masala MD

 

I was only thinking the other week that I should probably have that mole removed as its in an arkward spot on my lower back and I cant see it - looks like Tikka has done me a favour - I just hope it was tasty!!

Now you've got me going queasy!

 

I didn't even consider the eggs! Oh well...I'm sure I could sell them!!

brilliant!!!!!!!!!!

[flowerangelk8x]

Ever thought of tikka opening a mole clinic?

 

Worth thinking about...!

[chelsea]

lol I've heard it all....until now!

 

Is Dr Tikka available for Omleteer referrals? Wondering if she could cure my prickly heat??

[vetty82]

Oh yes, she's available for consultations between egg laying in return for the odd dried meal worm or two!

 

Specialist areas, mole removal and minor surgery! But will consider any medical complaint.

 

 

 

 

 

Tikka's owner accepts no responsibility for errors in surgery or non removal of moles! Payment of meal worms required immediately after surgery is performed

[chelsea]

lol!

 

she's very trusting, most specialist private medical care would insist on some form of payment up front. I can see a booming trade coming her way.

why is it I am seeing her with a little white coat on and stethoscope around her neck??

See the scrubs thing would be great if Tikka was a Cockerel, but alas she is a laydeee so I think this maybe more appropriate?

I hope she is a fully paid up member of the Medical Defence Union.....just in case you need to sue her.

 

I hope you are feeling OK.
