BLIND TINY!!!! SHE DID IT!!!!

[debashan]

Was Blind Tiny born blind, or did something happen to cause it? How and when did you realize she was blind? Lovely and heartwarming, Thanx for sharing.

She was born blind. We figured out she was blind after we had her for about 2 days. She wouldn't eat or drink on her own. She got the name Tiny because her growth was stunted from not eating. She was half the size of the other chicks at a week old. It was a struggle but she made it and as you can see from that egg...she's doing pretty good!

I'm very proud of her and her will to live at such a young age was amazing. I love her dearly. I spent a lot of time with her, hand feeding her and all. We have a great bond. I really didn't care if she ever laid an egg but I'm all giddy that she did.

She is very smart about feeling her way around. When she bumps into her roost she steps up into it. We purposly made the roost at chest height for her. Sometimes she ends up on top of her waterer though.

I've had sighted chickens who've done that too!
