Possible splayed leg chick

She is a handful. I'm current typing Linux commands with one hand while my new miniature supervisor tells me all about everything from under my other hand while eating mush and slinging it everywhere. makes getting anything done very slow. Especially when I'm trying to keep her out of the food as she wants to stand in it, as chickens do.


This is the first time she has actually gone to food on her own. Usually we have to present food to her. Little Derpy send to be unable to pick up dry crumble because she doesn't open her beak far enough.


I'm pretty excited with the progress.

She seems to keep messing with something in her wing pits. I'm not finding anything there.

That's how I lost my last parrot. Something in his wing pit and when I found him the next morning he had lost too much blood and didn't make it.

Well, putting her in with a buddy isn't gonna work for now. Everyone wants to peck her in the eyeball when she lays down for sleep. Her buddies have been banished back to their box. Found a small stuffed animal (3" tall board collie dog) to snuggle with. She is generally quiet right now. Hope that means good things.

Well, I was banned from using the stuff animals by the wife so I found the closest thing I could to a feather duster.
