Amber, my blind Amberlink.

How is everyones babies doing btw? It's cooling down in the weather but whenever it's too hot I get extra worried about them.

Oh my goodness Amber is really pretty. How old is she?

 

[Chickenhappy8708]

About 6 months.

I though she looked young. Any clue why she's blind? Also how do you have her set up in terms of living area? (sorry that I'm a curious person and I love hearing everyones different views and stories)

I adopted her when she was 18 weeks. The old owners raised her with 2 other chicks, but when trying to integrate the older chickens with them, Amber was getting hurt. She actually can navigate pretty well, she runs up and down the ramp fine, and has always layer in the boxes. She failed her eye test though at their vet. She lives with the 2 young cockerels she raised, 2 little baby chicks who sleep under her at night, and my white leghorn who was injured by our rooster, and is friends with Amber now. Were trying to integrate Ambers flock with the other pullets. Then the rooster will move into her coop.

Aww that's really great. I know that my baby couldn't be with the others because she was bullied but I love when chickens are accepting. Hellen was always there to comfort injured chickens. i think blind chickens are the best chicken companions for other chickens in need of help.

I agree.
