T...I am smiling ear-to-ear after reading this post. Thank you, Rescue Lady of the Chickens. I have an especially soft spot in my heart for you after hearing about your mice rescue. And good on your mum and SF for supporting you. Any parent should be so lucky as to have a child like that - independent-minded and, well, GOOD. I can't believe they punished you. It sounds like some psychological experiment where they should TRY to get kids thinking out of the box, and reward the ones who go against the conventional, group mob mentality. <br /><br />What a shame that the Great Chicken Rescue fell through:( I can imagine that loads of people were disappointed. But I'm also kind of heartened to hear how many people wanted to rescue chooks...gives me a few warm fuzzies about humanity (which I sometimes get tricked into thinking is a dastardly race). <br /><br />I'm reaching back into the shadowy lore of Upper Goatlandia, but isn't there something about hens needing an adjustment period if something "unusual" (like a move) has happened? Here's hoping that they start laying abundantly, very soon. For right now, though, sounds like you have oodles of entertainment:)<br /><br />(Any chance you could set up a webcam? I'd pay a subscription to follow Henrietta and the gang).Adelehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06955659206478903815noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7545005274700673650.post-51447867959572701062010-09-17T10:07:47.632+10:002010-09-17T10:07:47.632+10:00HA HA HA - this post made me laugh and laugh.

I think I read in there some tips for rescue chickens - food, socialising, laying etc.Andiehttp://conceivablefuture.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7545005274700673650.post-91628197019864443192010-09-17T08:32:34.481+10:002010-09-17T08:32:34.481+10:00Oooh, thanks for the info.

Yeah, I loves me some Bunnings action. <br /><br />After your last post I looked up people rehoming chickens in NSW and there are people doing that, so that is good. That's helpful about the tip of buying from poultry farmers.Andiehttp://conceivablefuture.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7545005274700673650.post-34071266384404519982010-09-17T04:22:46.477+10:002010-09-17T04:22:46.477+10:00Pundy, this is such great info.

Also, you are dead on with our future kidlet causing chaos in public. We will be one of those folks too stunned by our good fortune(please) that our angel will be the most spoiled rat in the town. <br /><br />What did you do for your coop?

So I kept mine, and had it in a cardboard box in my dorm for one night, after which my roommate said she could not put up with any more of its all night chewing. So I then put the box, with mouse,on a table in front of the dorm with a 'free pet mouse' sign. It was soon gone, and who knows what that poor animal's next adventure was!!!<br /><br />Also, I grew up with chickens, and they are awesome once you tame them! So sweet and cute. The dust gets in the spiracles of their mites and suffocates them (the mites), so that's why they (the chickens) do it. You could get a dusting powder from the local livestock store that kills the mites more directly, too.Lesliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12445064184402702224noreply@blogger.com
