Cheeky Chooky Posted March 20, 2012 Share Posted March 20, 2012 One of my D'Anvers, Pip, is the chicken equivalent of a cleaner fish in the ocean She always fusses around the girls, pecking tiny bits of mash off of their beaks and nostrils and just generally makes sure they're all clean and tidy I caught her doing this to Dolly when I was filming them on Sunday and thought you might like to see the clip I also thought you might like to see what a chatty little chicken she is Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pearls007 Posted March 21, 2012 Share Posted March 21, 2012 I'm sure I heard Dolly say "She's lovely - but sometimes I just wish she wouldn't fuss! Now I can eat and drink in peace." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chortle Chook Posted March 21, 2012 Share Posted March 21, 2012 Ah, Pip is lovely. Have you thought of providing feet cleaning services at a price with her, the way people go and get their feet nibbled by fish these days? I've never had that done but I've heard it raved about on the radio. I think I'd far rather Pip did it than a fish. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
