Free blind pullet terre haute IN black copper maran

[Isadora]

I have a black copper maran pullet who is about 4 months who recently became mostly blind. I have a thread on her in the emergency section and it appears she has developed cataracts.
We have no place for a blind chicken on our farm (we keep chickens for pest control) and my husband said I can try to re-home her, otherwise we'll butcher her next month when our meat birds are ready.
She's always been very calm, sweet, and docile. Doesn't mind being picked up and will cluck softly to you. She would be a great pet for a child. I have some photos of her below as well as how her eyes look.
Up until last week, she would free range outside and return to the coop at night. Since becoming blind, she doesn't leave the coop anymore, understandably.

hope you find a home for her. You know sometimes nursing homes have chickens for pets for the nursing home residents. I read an article about it once. It's worth a try. You might also try schools,like elementary schools, or ask the library or even a local zoo for help.

I would take her if you were not so far away. I have the time to give her a good home.

Hello! I would be interested in giving her a good home. But it is a bit of a drive. Just curious... are you able to take a couple roosters? That might make the drive for me worth it. Haha!! I have several special needs hens so she would fit in and have a great life.

Sounds like you might have found someone (above) but if not, you could also try your State thread, and posting in the rehoming/ free thread. Animal shelters are another possibility. I hope Adams Farmhouse can take her, but if not, I'm sure you'll find someone! She sounds like a sweetie.

I did end up getting her. She is the sweetest thing and is blending in with my flock already. Here she is right in the middle. lol
