Hi guys! i just wanted to share my story about my RHW, blind in one eye chicken, Bertha. Bertha is one in three of my backyard chickens. she used to be at a old kinda gross barn where they never got any sunlight. i rescued her after building a tiny coop. i had her and my other ISA brown, Frannie. After a few weeks into winter, i convinced my parents to get a better coop. I then moved them into there and got a third chicken, Lorretta. At the time Bertha was at the barn, she developed some sort of eye sickness , a hard pus ball developed in her eye and it came back then left then came back then left. i didn’t have then money to take her to the vet so i found a all natural upper respiratory medicine and then seemed to clear up. but with the pus coming out, it left her blind. but she is like any other chicken. still free ranges, and finds her food and water. she is still too young to lay eggs. she is actually boss hen, too! i have one or two question though, does my coop look like it’s a pretty nice set up? And do you think that I would be able get a Bantam chick? my chickens mostly get free range almost every day or week or at least I try. My friend is a breeder and I wanted to get one once it is older. I hope you enjoyed my sister story of Bertha! If you have any questions just ask. Here is a picture of Bertha (left) Frannie (middle) and Lorretta (right)
here is a picture of Berthas eye, now.
and here are pictures of my coop.
