Henrietta is a BR, and is sight impaired. She is in with the chicks right now, in QT for at least 2 weeks.
She can see shadows, and may never be an outdoor chicken, but kept with a friend or broody hen in the stall that they would normally winter in..

BUT I want to know how I can help her.
The reason I got her is that she was picked on badly at her former home, a city coop in Madison...
Any ideas?

Thanks
Carol
 
Avoid moving things around in her coop/enclosure. She'll learn where things are. Make sure she's got a full crop at the end of the day. She should get along fine.

Provide a deep dish of feed and readily accessible water in a consistant spot, a gentle hen or two for company, and she will thrive.
