If this isn't the right place for this thread, admn please move it. I wasn't sure where to put it...
But anyways, I have a blind chicken. I had thought she was blind for a while, but was doing ok in the coop with the other girls. I went out there the other morning, and she was head first in a corner and the others were picking on her rear end. She was very bloody and raw. I brought her in the house and rinsed her off really well and put some triple antibiotic ointment on her. I put her in the garage in a box with food and water thinking she wouldn't make it through the night. Well, she did. I now have her in a very large guinea pig cage in the garage with a low roost, food and water. She walks around, and pecks in the air till she finds the feeder and waterer, and seems to be doing pretty well. Her rear is healing, and she coo's at me every time I am out there. Is there anything else I should be doing? Do I now have a pet chicken? LOL I would really appreciate any help or words of wisdom.
