A month or two ago we had an evil bandit get in to the coop and snatch Little Pretty right off of her nest. Luckily I was awake and heard the commotion and got out to the coop to save her. I wasn't sure she'd make it. Nearly ripped off her wing, large patches of skin, even missing toes. Neck was also ripped open. I cleaned her up, Triple A-ed her for the first few days and that was such a problem. I ended up using red coat-scarlet oil- and she made a full-almost-recovery. The eggs however died because I didn't think... The oil got on the eggs, killed the embryos. But Little Pretty survived. I just got updated pics, but they're on my camera yet.
pin feather are coming in
see how the one wing sit low now
before the attack
how she got her name
She's fully feathered in now, beard and all. Yes, that was ripped out too. For some reason with my touchpad I can't post the pic of right afterthe attack or when she was covered in red oil.
