Omlet cube and run

At last - all my girlies are laying. Went out today and when I got back Chicken Little - my polish frizzle had layed her very first egg - what a clever girlie. Edited April 13, 2013 by Guest

Woo hoo! Maybe there is hope for Annette yet! Well done Chicken Little.

What a lovely name.

Well done Chicken Little

My 4 year old Grandson named her. I got three newbies at the same time - the other two he named Henny Penny and Holly Shiftwell (apparently she is a car in the Cars movie!!) Its a right mouthful to shout all five - the two older girls are Madge and Matilda.

 

I am so pleased with Chicken Little - she is the most beautiful girl. I have had the newbies since August and everyone got on fine. Then suddenly about 3 weeks ago when I checked her in the morning when I let them out - she was really badly pecked at the top of both wings - there was a bloody mass on each about the size of a golfball. I have tried everything and every time she is nearly healed they peck her again. She has been living in the dog crate for the past few days - in the run. Last night I tried putting her in when they had gone to bed. When I let her out this morning she had been pecked again. I have decided to put her into another run and then get a friend for her. I wouldnt care but when I got the newbies I purchased a new Doodlehouse and sold my Eglu Go because it wasnt big enough - so today my lovely hubby decided to make her a new coop from of a beehive (we recently lost all our bees due to the bad weather). Tomorrow he is going to make a run too and then she can move in.

Ah I had wondered if Chicken Little was your pecked polish!!! Shame that you have to separate her but what will you go for as her companion?? Another polish???

Awwww, poor Chicken Little. I didn't realise she was the chicken I had been reading about before.

I hope she likes her new home your hubby has made her and that you get her some new friends soon.

I am thinking I may get a slightly younger polish frizzle to be her friend. She is so placid and friendly I think she would be ok. Her new house is ready - but I am just waiting for a new run to be delivered this week and then she will be moving in. She seems happy enough and her wings were healing really nicely until the other day when I tried letting her in the run with the other girls. I thought she would be ok cos they had all been out on the lawn together with no problems - but the minute she was in the run they started again.

 

She has had quite a few cuddles though!!!
