So we got a young silkie, and they are best friends! Thanks for the suggestions, they cuddle together at night and the blind one has totally perked up since getting her! Great suggestion, the silkie is a natural "seeing eye hen" :)
Thanks for the suggestions guys! I just want her to have a companion, but also not deprive the other chicken of roaming around. I have a large area of my property enclosed for them to free range during the day and the new one would have to be kept with the blind one in the coop...it's 4x8.
Hello, I'm new to keeping chickens and wouldn't you know it, got swindled when i bought my first flock. Brought them home and soon discovered they were all sick. Treated them with Tylan 50 injections and they all recovered except 2, one passed and the other is now blind. I have since separated...
