Make sure she knows where the food and water are ... and don't move them. If her scissor-beak isn't too bad, show her how to use a nipple waterer or hamster bottle. Those don't generally move around, so she'll always know where to get a drink. While she's little, use a feed cup attached to the wall. Those are harder for other birds to knock around. If her scissor-beak is really pronounced, give her soupy-wet feed while she's small, like a gruel. Be patient and consistent. She'll figure it all out. We had a blind chicken for years. As long as she could hear us talking, she'd follow us around and come sit in our laps. She'd follow voices right into the kitchen ... much to my father's chagrin!The picture is of the blind one. She’s the sweetest little thing
How can I let her know that what’s in front of her is food? She likes to keep her head tipped back and doesn’t try pecking or anything. I have tried and tried to get her to eat.. I just don’t know what to do. I keep the feeder and waterer in the same place, I just don’t know how to tell her that what’s in front of her is food and water.
They came from a hatchery called Reich. We got 150, they are supposed to be meat chickens. They’re freedom rangers.
