Hi everyone. I found a woman on craigslist near me who was being forced by the township to give up her three chickens. There is a Barred Rock and two RI Reds. They are sweet chickens, but I was surprised at their living conditions when I went to pick them up. It was pretty gross.
First of all, there wings were cut almost to the elbow joint. Poor things! They weren't able to jump to the roost I installed for them cause they have no wings to flap. The thing that really gets me is that they stink! They smell like Chinese food in a bad way!
There poo really stinks. So, I have them apart from my other girls for now and am monitoring them. They seem healthy besides the fact that I think they were starving.
What do you all suggest for my newfound wingless stink bombs? I would love to bathe them or sprinkle them with baking soda or something!!!
