Could anyone please give me suggestions where to look for a safe and very caring home for a chicken please.


My daughter had two pet chickens who were very much loved. Very sadly one was killed by a fox and the other chicken is now looking very lonely and lost. My daughter is traumatised by what happened as she looked after them so well and always made sure they were safe (in a fox proof Eglu and in bigger run only when she was there to look after them). It happened in a split second and unfortunately she was there. She does not want another chicken as she?s too scared it would happen again (and it propbably would I?m afraid). She?s desperate for her remaining chicken to have a happy life, with other chickens and not be lonely. Josie the chicken is a ginger hybrid, very sweet and lays an egg almost every day. She?s less than a year old. If you have any ideas couldn?t you please send me a pm.

    • The alternative would be to let them free, to be predated on and without parents to teach them the necessities of survival. Clearly this is an unhelpful model of instruction, but, given the ducklings have been born and will not survive without parental care (unless they are hand reared in the school - which I doubt has the capacity of skill for this) then gassing them is the most 'humane' action. The school should perhaps have thought through what is the likely outcome for ducklings which are not being reared by either skilled farmers or ducks. I suspect that the duckings would not be saleable to farmers having been initially born and raised in circumstances which were not sterile for introduction into larger flocks. 
    • That's a good idea smiley blue , if you or anyone else comes across petitions to end these despicable acts of cruelty to defenceless animals please put on here or start a new thread if you please so we can sign the petition and add our objections to this , I would also like to thank all of you the people for reading these messages and adding your voices to this cruelty,  maybe we can end it 
    • Malumbu, by that measure are police efforts to cut down on anti-social driving by issuing tickets and fines a token effort as well? Surely punitive measures for cyclists breaking the rules will encourage them not to break the rules again? A bit like when you got stopped and taken into the cab of an HGV. The police are currently using that tactic to show those who break the rules cycling that it might lead them to being hit by a lorry due to the driver's having limited vision - the cycling equivalent of a speed awareness course for drivers.    When they stopped you was it because you had broken a rule or was it just more of an education programme and they asked you to take a look and did it change your cycling behaviour in any way? As I said previously there are those who break the rules on cycling out of ignorance (and those out of arrogance) and I am sure they are using HGVs to educate those in the ignorance category and then hitting those in the arrogance category with the PCNs.
