Last Monday, Gerard took Miss Giblet to the vet which is
ironically located opposite Kentucky Fried Chicken (KFC!)
Much to our relief, Giblet’s maggot infestation was gone which meant
that our “chicken first aid” efforts on the weekend were successful!
However upon closer inspection, the vet removed an
egg shell which was internally stuck inside Giblet.
The vet was overcome by the stench which Gerard
said was worse than the smell of rotten egg gas!
After a dose of liquid antibiotics, Giblet is happy again
and is a full of energy as a “spring chicken”.

They have a custom seed mix consisting of wheat,
sunflower seeds and cracked maise.
Curry walks off after breakfast whilst Giblet continues
to peck in her favourite blue container.
Giblet is so fussy she resists eating out of any container that is not blue!
Dora the Explorer (a.k.a. Curry) takes a peek inside the pet carrier
we bought from the pet shop to transport Giblet to the vet clinic.
Miss Giblet takes a peek inside the pet carrier which looks familiar to her.....
Giblet's bottom is still a bit pink from the anti-bacterial spray we
used during our "first aid procedures".
Giblet is more curious than Curry.
Note: When shopping at the pet shop, we chose the pet carrier
colour to be blue (nicknamed "Giblet blue").
It's nice to see the 2 Happy Hens happy again.
Let's hope we don't have to use the pet carrier much more in the future!
