I looked after a chicken for the evening, i.e. put her to bed at dusk. It was no hardship, Nimrod is an enchanting chook, she thinks she's a spaniel. She talks and converses, is incredibly friendly and follows you around everywhere. She has been known to wander into the kitchen demanding attention, or perhaps food. Her mum was attending her daughter's wedding and wouldn't be home until late. For the trouble I was given a jar of jam and some lovely leftover wedding flowers. Truth be told I would have looked after Nimmy just for the pleasure of doing so.
