A chicken in my kitchen

Well I realised yesterday I had a sick bird. She was not eating. I had horrible ideas about gape worm - I have read all sorts about it. Its a worm chickens pick up from the soil and it blocks their throat so they cannot eat or drink. Anyway we took her to the vet - costs us loads tho we did manage to get some doggie toothpaste which is impossible to find in Rugby and we normally go 20-odd miles to get. Anyway chicken is not infested with gapeworm ( vet looked down her throat. Chickens have pointed tongues I discovered) but some non-descript illness and she is now in my kitchen in a rabbit cage on antibiotics since the rest do not need antibiotics and it goes into their water. She still didnt eat and I was very worried by 11am this morning. Then my resident cockateil Ben(Ben-Jamima - shes a girl but we didnt know till she started laying eggs about 3 years after we had her) decides to sit on the kitchen door and talk to this huge birdie. It was very funny when Ben suddenly realised there is a huge (relatively) bird in the kitchen and she was so shocked. She started squarking as she does and the chicken started to cluck which is brilliant since she had just made this wining noise for all of yesterday and today until then. Ben is just brilliant. I explained chicken is ill and not eating and normally lives in the garden. No idea what she said to the chicken but they seemed to have a chat ( this is for real honest!) and the chicken starts to eat. Then she ran out of food and I have given her more and she is definitely better since she has preened her feathers. She will probably have to stay in the kitchen for 5 days yet tho. Not good.
