Pullet stuck high in the hedge

Glad she came home!
Congrats!!

Thanks! She is toward the bottom of the pecking order, though not the absolute bottom. From what I've read, isbars are generally very flighty. I'll be looking at clipping this weekend; never tried it before. I know we were lucky.

It gives me an excuse for my decrepit hedge--it's protective habitat!

So happy for you and now momma is relieved!

Thanks. She is an elderly, deaf dog that was found we took it. That dog is a sound sleeper.
Here is the nutcase of the group. She doesn’t like the lab or any other dog View attachment 1233035

waiting on videos or pictures!

Nice teeth! Her dental hygenist would be proud.

This morning when I went to open the coop, the little miscreant was about seven feet up in the hedge, clucking away at me. I climbed back up and got her. She is not even slightly cuddly, so she was freaking out until she saw the food. The others greeted her nonchalantly. Margie the Miscreant is now her full name. Thanks for the good wishes everyone!

Time to get out a sharp pair of scissors. Clipping a wing is not much different than clipping fingernails.

I got a great laugh! Those few do look pretty decent by the picture. She is 12 yo, has rotten teeth, severe gingivitis, breath you can smell from 6 feet away. She has a severe heart murmur and cannot have them cleaned.

My Abe (avatar) is like that! He's 16, is missing a couple of teeth but not the snaggletooth one that hangs out in his underbite. Breath is, well, breathtaking! I love the weird little thing.

Breathtaking is a great word to describe it.
