She's got a pad with medicine on the bottom of her foot, then gauze wrapped around it, then the "sticks only to itself" tape on top. I have to change the bandage every other day and give her antibiotics twice a day. I've never seen her so perky. She flew from the floor to the table to the fridge. Then she flew from the floor straight up 6 ft to the top of the china cabinet (which is where she is in the picture).

I asked the fellow BYCers, and they think she is an Old English Game bantam and I'm sure they're right. I think she looks like a Japanese buff, black tailed bantam, but either way, she is just too cute. I'm thinking about getting her an itty bitty diaper and bringing her to work.

Oh....she is so beautiful. Your story made me cry. So glad there are people like you out there helping little animals.....so sad there are people like that man who would use her in such a way. She and the other two rescues look like wonderful additions to your family.

What a pretty little hen, glad she's doing better. Great job on the save and special care you gave her.
