When I was a little kid, we had chickens and this one hen acted like a cock, got in a fight with a mutt, and she was inside the house for a bit while her leg recovered. That girl would wait by the fridge for my dad to give her a bit of his butterscotch ice cream, she had the family wrapped around her flight feather until the day she managed to outlive literally every other chicken on the farm.

I haven't thought about that in decades, thank you.

That's awesome. I currently have one in its own mini coop I call the chicken hospital. Has a broke leg, hoping it can heal. We did same thing last year with one with a broken back and it healed.

The chicken hospital!! That's just wonderful. They're such oddly hardy creatures.

As someone who is thrilled by chickens but rarely gets to interact with them, this may be my favorite thread in r/Vermont ever. I’d love to see more of your chickens!

I got about 50 of them. Three coops, a mini picnic table feeder, mini tree house, and a swing for them. I love them.
