Anyone that would keep a living animal inside In Such Condition there whole life shouldn't have any animals.I would report him to animal control,who knows what else he is keeping locked away in cages.

I felt bad when I thought I was going to keep the birds pined up for 2 days straight, and that was over a freaking hurricane.

How does Chance's vision doing? Any improvements?

He seems to be doing quite well! Granted, I can't determine if he's just figured out certain obstacles in my yard, or if he really can see better. His eyes, and inner lids are looking 110% better than when I got him though.

On his eyeballs I can see little white spots...not like a uniform milky, like cataracts, just small spots, maybe from injury? Or being kept in darkness for too long? He is such a big, handsome boy...I cannot even begin to imagine him in a brooder tank all day

His morning workout! One of these days he's going to get lift off and then I'm in trouble!!

and then I'm in trouble!!

Or he will be...lol

I'll make sure my husband gets a video of me trying to herd Chance back to our yard...with all the neighbors shaking their heads thinking "nothing that family does surprises me anymore..."

Georgia, my female American Buff, got a few feet off the ground the other day when they were doing their morning run/flap. She probably glided fifteen or twenty feet. THe day I brought the home, Golly the gander, got startled and flew straight up and over my five foot fence out into the back pasture. I had to pick him up and carry him back he was so scared he wouldn't move. lol

Hopefully I would get that lucky...like flying into the land of OZ! Great story!!

I think it helped that Georgia was still penned. He didn't want to wander further away. But he wasn't sure if he wanted to run from me so after I got over the shock it was funny. But at first I definitely panicked, thinking I can't believe I drove nearly five hours for them to be able to fly out of the fenced in back yard.

Missed a very important update yesterday as I'm getting the house and hobo town ready for my city slicker sister and BIL.

CHANCE'S 1 MONTH ANNIVERSARY!!


So just to remind folks....

BEFORE

AFTER

So proud of this guy! Hate to brag, but he is absolutely beautiful! My heart is full

 

[ColtHandorf]

He has certainly come a long way!

 

[DiYMama540]

Look at that chubby little face on him now!! He's going through a pretty hard molt right now and his new feathers have helped his appearance tremendously! Thank you for keeping up with us @ColtHandorf!
