Thanks everyone. She's settled in a bit, she's eating and using her litter tray. Wary of the dogs but I've got them sitting calmly in the same room as her whilst DD is playing with her...hoping that she will associate the dogs with play time. Don't know if that sort of training applies to cats but i...

As some of you may know I lost two cats recently, 1 to ill health and one was sadly run over. I said no more....famous last words.

Do you think your Kitty may have a problem with her teeth or mouth...

Hi I just found this site offering what I think seems a good idea for the run http://www.newlandgrange.com/CHICKEN-RUN-MUD-MANAGEMENT(1720020).htm , what do people think? I had thought of putting paving down then woodchips but this would probably be easier in terms of not having to lug paving slabs ...

I'm so sorry LL, it is terrible having to make such a hard decision, but you made it with love

I would be inclined to add more than one if you have the space in the run

That has happened to me before, although some say a hen can't lay twice in one 24 hour period....
