Hello all,
Have any of you reared a blind chick?
I have a teo dat old one eyed chick, which apparently seems to be blind in her one eye. I'm not going to cull, I'm going to give it everything I've got to give her a good life. I've read many stories about blind chickens and that they adapt and live good lives, so I want this for her. I just need to get her eating and drinking.
I've been using a syringe to drop water and mushed crumble to her, but she's not really taking to it. I know she'll need a place where the water and food bowl are in the same place everyday, but I need to get her eating and drinking first.
Any advice? Constructive criticism welcome.
Thanks
