Cochin Thread!!!

[PouleNoire]

Maybe some predator has been getting into your coop? Are there anyways that you see are either broken and/or predator accessible?

Nothing other than a small snake and these don't appear to be snake wounds.

Update on my little girl. Trying to let her stretch her legs and learn how to be mobile with 1 eye. I think it's really affecting her balance.

Give her tim. I have a rooster that has one eye and gets around great...free ranges too. Other one -eyed birds I've had over the years become very successful. They learn to keep their blind side away from trouble. They learn their routines and partially rely on the other birds in their flock. I actually had a totally blind hen that lived a healthy life for two years after going blind. She knew where her water and feed containers were, could go outside to eat grass with supervision and had two buddy hens on the roost.

The rouen was her brooder mate and so she was guiding her around the front yard the other day during her exercise time outside.

I wish it was not so nasty and your were not under the weather the other day, I wold have loved to meet your flock. I'm so excited about my Cochin babies. Chicken fever is a very real thing for all of those naysayers, I love my chickens and my new duck babies.

New Babies alert: 4 assorted Cochins, 3 runner ducks, 2 Silver Laced Wyandottes and 5 Blue Copper Marans that just popped out of my incubator. It feels like Christmas
