Its been a stressful couple of days here at Cluckingham Palace, on Monday morning we woke to a very ill hen. Poor Cruella was gasping for every breathe when I went to let the littles out of their coop.
A quick call to the vets and they could see her at lunchtime, so we isolated her from the others immediately and kept her as quiet as possible.
Thankfully we have caught a respiratory infection quickly. She’s separated from the others, but safe and warm, taking her medicine and seems to be on the road to recovery.
After a couple of days in the sick bay (giant dog crate in our garden) I let her out for a wander yesterday afternoon.
She immediately found a spot in the sun to do a bit of basking.
Even chickens know that the sun has healing properties, if you are feeling under the weather try and get out into the fresh air, sit with the sun on you face for a few minutes and drink it in.
