Thanks for all your help, it's really put my mind at rest.  I will try them on the tinned sweetcorn Bexy, thank you.

And thank you too, dizzylizzy.  It breaks my heart to think about how they have been treated but I do realise that, at the moment, they must just be totally bewildered as to what is going on.  I'm sure they'll settle down with time.  I can't offer them vast amounts of space - I live in a semi-rural are (near Tring on the Bucks/Herts border) - but I have a reasonable sized garden (hence only four chooks) and I intend to give them lots of tlc.

Thanks everyone for your help - sure I'll be back for more advice soon!

we have a poorly chick called Raffles, when i took the kids to visit their dad yesterday Raffles came too, Sam layed out her blanket and put out food and water while Pip got her out of her box, their dad Nigel sat watching them silently (he's not much of a chicken lover unless it's on his plate :)) inevitably Raffles wandered of her blanket to pooh on the carpet, he said " that bird's just s**t on the carpet" Pip looked and said "ooh that's a good pooh, isn't that a good pooh mum?" i said " it is a good pooh, with icing on the top just like a good pooh should be" then Sam agreed "yes, that's a healthy pooh alright" you should have seen Nigel's face, it was a picture :lol:

would have loved to be a fly on the wall  :lol: :lol:
Staffies are softer than you think.
