Hens are funny creatures, aren't they? Our head honcho chicken, Bermuda, is a vicious b*gger when you're walking around in the garden. She thinks she's a cockerel and pecks at hands, feet, ankles, trousers - you name it, if she can reach it she'll peck it. (Not in an inquisitive, 'I wonder if that shoelace is edible'/'I'm SURE I can see a beetle on your trousers' sort of way, just going for the kill!)
However, if you have to pick her up, she's calm as anything, and stays quite still. The silly dim one, Ginger, is more nervous than the other two, and tends to panic. No matter how carefully or firmly you hold her, she often manages to get her wings out from under your hands and flaps about.
It makes me feel like Alice with the flamingo in the Disney version of Alice in Wonderland! 
It's funny how different in nature they all are.
Thanks for the advice on administering oil. Seems obvious now you've said, but I couldn't think for the life of me how you got the oil into the chicken without drowning it!  (In fact you just drown yourself in oil instead!  ) |
