yes. it takes her some time to figure out whats in front of her...... the rest of the crew are like vultures......she may be blind but she is by far the sweetest bird ive had!
I have a 8 month old EE and I'm no vet, but i think she is blind. One of her eyes is a lot "cloudier" than the other. Any suggestions? She can still find the food and water but has yet to lay a single egg. Crazy!
I hate rat as well.....I've been battling mice and rats since I started my little "backyard operation" three years ago.....I've tried everything......Guess what.....Still got mice and rats......I think its a lost cause.......I can wait to hear a new suggestion if there is one out there........
All I have to do for the "Super Six" is make the "time for bed" call and they file in one by one. Pretty cool, never thought they could behave as well as my two mutts!

I'm glad to report that sweet little "Poop" is back to 100%. Her crop is back to normal, she drinking eating and playing with her "room mates" just like she did yesterday prior to the "situation"!!!! I'm telling you, I really thought she was about to cross those chilly waters. The olive oil...
oh and ill pull the big girl feed out and get some more chick starter. they have seemed to handle it very well though. eating and pooping like crazy. i just hope that the big girl food didnt play a role in the situation that we have on our hands now. if "Poop" doesnt make my three year old...
This morning she was back on her feet but still alittle off. i gave her another dropper of oil and massaged her crop. not near as hard as it was last night. i dont give them grit but they do peck around in the garden hour hours at a time. i know they are nibbling up alot of sand and other little...
Let the little girls out in the garden for their evening free time. Put them up as normal. I heard a bunch of noises coming from their brooder. I went in and saw my sweet EE gasping for air and limp as a dish rag. Her crop was hard as a rock. I gave her several doses of olive oil to help loosen...
Ol' Farrah (Buff Orp) just snapped out of her episode three days ago......She was broody for about a month....I think she got tired of getting her eggs taken from her and me having to throw her big butt of the nest every afternoon..... she's back to normal!!
not an option.....got three babies in the brooder right now......small time city operation going on here......if she keeps it up we'll be having chicken soup soon.....
I dont have a rooster......hence no baby chicks.....just threw her off the nesting box, DURING "FREE RANGE FUN TIME"!!!!!!!.... unheard of my friends.....unheard of.
