Interesting idea. She's young, though. Only 10 months old.Also often overlooked, the older birds have the best down, especially in winter. Do you need a feather pillow?

I was considering dog food but I dont want to risk the dogs. When the deed is done, I'll just wrap her up and bury her in the outgoing garbage.I don't think that giving pets bad meat is a good idea at all. Meat in the compost pile sounds like predator bait.
I'll tag some experts, we'll see what they say. @Miss Lydia @Isaac 0Well, we got them for meat/eggs. I dont think my husband would want to invest a lot of money in her...he's also avoiding going out to cull.
What were your suggestions?
Edit: I tried bringing her in, a week or so ago, and let her swim in a warm bath. Gave her more peas, which she loves. Thats when she started to improve. But now she won't even eat peas...
Lets see what the experts say if you are interested in saving her, she may still be able to live a long life.I was considering dog food but I dont want to risk the dogs. When the deed is done, I'll just wrap her up and bury her in the outgoing garbage.
YepI think the official answer with today's health standards is to not butcher any animal that is not healthy. If the bird had a systemic infection you might not want to bring the tainted meat into your kitchen.
Frozen peas that I thawed overnight. So they were soft. Usually she gobbles them up. She just started this morning with not eating.I'll tag some experts, we'll see what they say. @Miss Lydia @Isaac 0
Who long has she not been eating? Can you make her food a mash offer that to her, maybe by spooning some into her beak? What peas were you offering? Fresh peas, frozen canned peas? If they were fresh and hard, it may have been to difficult for her to eat them, so she decided not to.
