    Drooling Chicken

    Many thanks everyone. She has perked up on her own but I am still keeping her inside and watching her. It's a complete mystery as to why she became so unwell but I hope she is over it now. Casportpony, I will keep a copy of those links as I'm sure that I will need to use them at some point...

    Frizzle Mauled by My Dog

    Poor baby Frizzle (approx 9 weeks old), that I have only had a week, got to close to the bars of her run and my miniature Dachshund grabbed her by the throat taking a big chunk of feathers and some skin.
