A Doris Update

Little Doris is doing amazingly well.
Shes had a couple of setbacks (my fault - I put her back out with the other hens before she was ready and she got attacked again) But now after 4 weeks in the house shes back to being an outside bird full time.

The dogs really enjoyed her company whilst she was in the house recovering from her injuries, particularly Edna who just wanted to snuggle up with her in the evenings.
Although I was initially a bit apprehensive about bringing an injured, bloody, and probably very tasty smelling chicken near the dogs they just accepted her as part of the gang and Stanley even allowed her to sit in his place - on my lap most nights.

Although Doris is living outside with the other birds again she would far rather be a house chicken and runs inside every time I open the back door. She is a real character and so very friendly.

                   


Here is a video of Doris falling asleep on my lap whilst having a cuddle.
