In the Brooder
A year ago Feb 11th, I rescued a 2 year old hen who had just lost both feet to frostbite. She was starving and had a severe infection in the left stump. I named her "Jem" because I could see that she was a 'diamond in the rough'. With the help of our local Vet-Jennifer- I nursed Jem back to health & learned how to wrap her stumps and make booties for her so she can walk, take dustbaths, jump-when she flaps her wings, ride in the car with my 2 dogs, go on hikes with us in her special backpack, and live in the cabin with me as comfortably as possible.
I am hopeful to have prosthetics made for her so she can walk more normally and have her weight on the prosthetics instead of on the stumps, which are not designed to take her full weight.
I have a friend who has a 3D printer- all we need is someone with a program for poultry prosthesis.
If anyone can help, please contact me here, or text/call me: 907-354-7267.
This wonderful hen deserves to have feet again. She's been through so much- including a life-saving emergency surgery. She's loving, gentle, and charms everyone she meets. She's an inspiration about how to keep on going, despite tough challenges, and the strength of the will to live.
