Mom was wondering if we should put a splint on her toes to help straighten them out - or will exercise outside when she is recovered be enough?

She is one tough bird that's for sure! She hasn't given up, so we certainly are not! My mom and I are looking for a forever home for her. My mom is 77 and her health is not that good right now - even our 10 hens are going to be re-homed for the winter at least.

Lucy is eating some dry chicken feed as well as the dandelion, boiled egg, oatmeal, bread and water mixture. She likes the wet mixture better I think as she shakes her head when she takes some of the dry chicken feed. She is also starting to eat from a bowl off of the floor, as opposed to us...

Thank you all for your replies - very encouraging and kind words. I was with a group of co workers when I had her and they had all passed her on the highway. One of the husbands said normal people would have kept on driving. Thank goodness not all people are normal! My mom and I have 10...

Yesterday, saw a turkey sitting on the side of the road. Drove back to take a second look. It was a live, white turkey. Wrapped her up in a sheet I had in the car, kept her warm and got her home a few hours later. Am assuming she is from a factory farm - her feet look deformed and she is...
