Hello and welcome to BYC!

Oh how nice that you are caring for a 5 year old blind hen! Special needs birds are so special and it gives us the chance to expand our hearts.

Make yourself at home here and welcome to our community!

Welcome to BYC. I love turkens. Do you have some photos to post?
I also have an old hen, who is blind. My rooster, her grandson, leads her to food and water, keeps her with the flock, and roosts with her. She gets spooked very easily, but I'm surprised at how well she manages.

Welcome. What a great farm you have. I have a pullet that is special needs. She cannot fly. It is looking like her wing is a genetic deformity. I made roosting bars inside and outside the coop that she can just walk up to. She is a gift from God.

We live in Colorado’s San Juan Mtns. We have had chickens for 5 years. I have had chickens off and on since the 80’s. The current flock is 26 birds of mixed variety’s including Turkens. One bird is 5 years old and Blind! She functions well and gets around pretty well considering. We also pasture Horses, host 800 sheep every fall (it takes them 4 days to clean up my 5 acre pasture) and we are currently fencing our property with Buck n Rail fence. The goal is to add a couple goats as weed eaters.

Welcome to BYC!!
