I am not an expert with chickens by all means, but just going by my experience with my bantams,. I have free ranges on a lot of land so probably makes a difference in my situation here, but I have 17 chooks, 4 off them are Roo's and they all have found their place. Their was banter in the...

Thanks for kind words but I really can't say I have done something amazing, Just doing what i hoped would work and I came off lucky this time, always will give it a shot but yeah I reckon I got lucky. Yeah I called her pickles cause she was in a pickle that day lol

Thanks for the words of encouragement. i don't care (to me) how big my creatures are, they are all important, all of 22 seabright bantams and Old english bantams have a soft spot in my heart, they all have different personalities (and names! hee hee) and all deserve a chance to kick on. They...
Oh for sure I couldn't agree more, I wish I could get my hands on some dawn, But I am relieved that the animal rescues here in australia use fairy for their cleaning on oiled spilled birds, So yes I am with you on that one. it always pays to ask and do research. Thanks so much for input
Honestly I have no idea if she has or not, I guess that is why I am keeping her in with me for the first 24hrs, I take her out to go scratching etc, but if she has I guess i will be posting frantically again. She has been eating and drinking well so I am hoping if she has it's only a small...

Ya I dare say my life is netflix with our chookies... maybe 'the truman show' style lol. I only got the idea off a you tube clip I saw with someone doing cpr to a cat, Unfortunately I did break a couple of bones when I did do it I thing, as her chest is a tad lob-sided now, well a lot actually...
Thank you to all for such vital and very helpful information. After a couple of frantic phone calls to supermarkets if they had the dawn soap, I typed in to google Australia's version of dawn soap, it came up as Fairy soap. My partner drove frantically to go pick up a bottle. Colour is blue YAY...
