She was in such bad shape I really didn’t want her near my flock but I gave in. I kept her in a crate in my shed. The only thing I really found wrong with her aside from being starved was the scales on her legs were lifted. So I bought lice killer. I’ve been soaking her feet in the solution then covering her feet with vasaline. I have her in with my flock now. I’ll keep up the treatment until All the lifted scales on her feet fall off. I’m a bit nervous but I couldn’t keep her in the crate any longer. She took some beating from the others for a while. It’s all good so far.Yes looks like a red sex link to me. That is so nice you have a rescue hen I have always wanted to but haven't had the opportunity yet.
We did take in a chicken that wandered around our house for a while with no home though so I guess that sort of counts haha. Not quite the same though
Pretty hen by the way!
Aww that is really nice of you. I am glad she is getting better it sounds like you know what you are doing to fix the leg mites. Did she come from an egg factory? I am shocked at the horrific treatment that many large scale egg laying factories do to their chickens. It makes me sick. I am glad I have my own flock of happy healthy hens to get eggs from.She was in such bad shape I really didn’t want her near my flock but I gave in. I kept her in a crate in my shed.
