Thanks guys! I'm going to give her a few days before I mess with her nails. And I will clip them a little at a time, they don't seem to be causing her much pain at all. She is SUCH a sweetheart! It really makes me wonder if someone actually dropped her off at the barn as I've never seen her fly...

I was actually thinking the same thing.....I mean she appears to be healthy, just dirty :( Probably from walking behind the cows in the barn as she smells like cow poop lol Id hate to see something happen to the poor girl. We have no idea where she came from, just showed up on top of the barn...
Its clearly a female as she is laying eggs.....I thought about grabbing her and keeping her as nobody else really likes her at the barn....she showed up last summer and she hasn't left. I caught her today and she is semi friendly, let me pick her up without a problem at all. But she's REALLY...
