Before I got the antibiotics from the vet Moonshine, one of my favourite chooks, was very poorly. In the rugby scrum for food in the morning she was struggling. Simply getting flattened, then eating so slowly she didn't fill her crop.
So, as you do, I TLCed her. Fed the rest then quietly picked her up and carted her round to the feed room where I left her with a dish of pellets and corn and a bowl of water.
On the second day of this as I came back in from feeding all else she crooned at me, which is her way of saying thanks for special treats.
On the third day she didn't even try to scrum down with the others, but set off round to the feed room on her own!!!
When I followed and scooped her up, she crooned at me again 
This despite the fact that the tylan was kicking in and she seemed much brighter.
Today she just stood by the door and waited for her lift..chook slave? of course I'm not..lol
Doesn't take long does it?

Unfortunately as most of mine were inci hatched they all think I'm a cross between the mum who blows noses and cuddles when there have been tears..and the Nigella Lawson of the chook world.....
