Peanut and Siblings are all Settled in Their Permanent Home!

Haven't updated recently on my blind little Peanut. She is doing very well. Still the smallest of the group.

We moved them into their stall yesterday. She ended up being the last one that was moved over. The 15 others were in the back corner of the stall and I put her down in the front. She cautiously made her way across the front and started to call quietly. About three of her siblings headed toward her followed by the rest of the pack. They came and got her and she followed them back to the back corner.

It was really good to see that they knew she needed them and the helped her out.

I haven't gotten their hanging feeder yet so they are just using a pyrex bowl for now. The photo that I'm attaching has a keet in the bowl. That keet kicked feed out to the others and had the bowl to herself.....it was my PEANUT!!!

Thanks for all of the suggestions and support while we were hoping for the best for Peanut. She will be fine for the next six weeks while I keep them inside. The next big step will be outdoor survival for her!

Awww! So glad she's still hangin' in there and holding her own

And I love it that the flock looks out for her!

Sad turn of events for Peanut....We lost her on Thursday last week. I have been skeptical as to if she would survive. Not only being blind, she was the runt. The babies have been free ranging during the days when I am home. She started to lose her stamina early last week. Wednesday she seemed easily tired and when I went out to the barn Thursday morning she was gone.

She made it 4 months longer than I expected and I thank everyone for their recommendations on getting her to eat and drink on her own.

So sorry about Peanut. What a shame, but you gave her the best chance.

Sorry for your loss, that's sad

RIP Lil Peanut

At least you know you gave her the best possible life that you could while you had her... not everybody puts that much effort into animals that have special needs.
