Dr Harry Housecall: Michelle's Happy Hens

Dr Harry Housecall: Michelle’s Happy Hens

Dr Harry is a self-confessed chook-a-holic but this week he’s meeting someone who just might love chooks even more than he does.

Michelle has more than 500 of them and spends most of her time caring for and selling chickens and their eggs.

With so many chooks to take care of, Michelle pretty much knows everything there is to know about looking after them.

But there’s one problem she hasn’t encountered before.

You see, there’s one particular bird that seems to be a little too popular with the boys…and she’s losing her tail feathers as a result.

Can Dr Harry figure out what it is about this chook that makes her rule the roost?
