10. TY! The big problem now is incorporating her back into the flock.

She has been in a separate enclosure (the converted Little Tykes playhouse cum Chica Palace/Hospital!) for so long they are little bullies when I've let her out with supervision! She initially was isolated when she got two, count 'em 2!, eggs stuck in her vent and that took a goodly bit to recover from - then the ear thing came right after.

So yeah, she's thoroughly docile and tame with all the care and attention she got. She's a pet as much as the cat or dog.

And I, to this day, have not much clue how they got me into this! All because a chicken just decided to move in my back yard. I think I've been chicken-napped!
