Ah I loved this post so much. I'm a big fan of chooks (as we call them here). Can I suggest ACV and garlic in her water - it's sworn by to keep them healthy. Rosita looks like a real character. She definitely needs some friends! And wait til you eat your first egg .. amazing.

I can't say I can deal with rabbits at all. They are like a plague here. Fun fact - I live on the land that used to belong to Austin, who first introduced rabbits to Australia in the 1800s as part of his idiotic plan to europify Australia. They became an utter blight on the landscape - many graziers had to walk off their land as their were so many that they would eat the grass as soon as it grew and there was no feed for livestock, only dust bowls. Trappers earnt a better wage than working on cattle stations and for 100 years, being a rabbito was a solid job. 14 rabbits were used to make an Akubra hat 🤠 which was in high demand for two world wars for soldiers. Rabbit meat was a thing (no one eats it here).

The introduction of miximotosis was a godsend, and now it's the kalci virus. Now immunity is developing and they need a new one. It's our responsibility to get rabbits off our own land yet warrens can also be just over the fence line and the council are hopeless. I walk round my garden checking for warrens every day to kick them in it putting the hose down small holes that does lay babies in, putting a brick over the entrance to prevent another ten rabbits growing up. Sounds insane but it really is an awful problem.

However, if I see piles of poo - they seem to be random - I now know I can take some small solace in the fact at least their shit might be useful 😜
