Hey everyone! In this article, we’ll learn the basics of caring for a blind chicken such as general wellbeing, housing, and feeding. We will focus on cases where it’s already been determined that your chicken is permanently blind.

She required lots of love and a little work, but she lived a happy life with her best friends, Hermione and Gale.
