She was very nervy at first, she wouldn't come near us or let us handle her at all.
I spent ages luring her close with corn, making chicken noises and generally looking like a mad man in front of our neighbours and eventually got her to eat from my hand. She is now super friendly: she follows us round if we are in the garden, is happy with us handling her, has recovered her feathers and put on some weight (she was super skinny when we first found her).
By the sounds of things I need to get a bigger coop built. Would 2 chickens be OK in a 3' x 2' coop for a couple of weeks until I get the new one built, or would it be better to leave her on her own until I can get a bigegr home for them?
