We only found Gracie a couple of months before the hens arrived. We found her collapsed in the road in the baking heat, emaciated and covered in fleas and ticks. It was touch and go whether she would make it, but she did and is such a lovely little soul. We suspect she had been locked in a dog house or chained and bred all her life. We were worried how she'd get on with the hens but both she and our Weimaraner are great around them.
