Not to worry, Johnn. I understand ! I think Bella is really Boss Hen now.

She is!! Whether its a hen above Bella or below her, she really doesn't care!

Well can you remember them lump things she had on her feet? They started to go and all but one have gone. I just want to take her to get rid of it to be honest. I think it gives her a disadvantage when fighting too which I don't want her to have if she wants to be a mother as the mother hens always get challenged because some of mine like to get at chicks. I can tell now that Lily (Bella's Welsummer sister) is to confident around Bella and is really aggressive to Daisy's chick, so imagine her with a baby? Also the reason it is Feb is because she will probably need foot dressings ect, so I want to be off college for a couple of weeks so I can do her treatment properly instead of missing a few days. I'm also paying for it myself with my christmas money so mam doesn't have a leg to stand on about taking her!

So glad you are taking such good care of Bella ! You can see a photo of one of my birds wearing socks on another site you are a member on. Same problem. Those baby socks really work. You'll have to keep her out of the mud for 10 days for her feet to heal though.

Yeah, I saw your pic. It was your pic that got me thinking about it and I just started to feel really bad. She will be able to stay in the broody shed. Hopefully it will all be done by the time everyone starts sitting!
