Sad discovery... UPDATE

[Mahonri]

Do you think that's what is on her left foot?

I just thought it was because she was old and mistreated.

... and to think that they advertised her as a "laying hen"... I'll bet she hasn't laid an egg in many years.

Not sure if it's mites or not, but can't hurt to slather the legs with something moisturizing and maybe smother mites in the process.

She also needs a good dusting as well. And in molt if her feathers are rough looking. With the TLC you are giving her, I can not wait to see how she will "bloom" out to be!

You got a kind heart Mahroni!

I am glad you decided to bring her home. She looks shabby but happy! You did good. Before long I bet she is beautiful, she has the potential.

Oh my word! Saltwater!!!!

I doubt I could have walked away with only ONE! (I have an empty coop)

So glad you took her, please keep us updated! Poor thing!

with some TLC I bet she will be a pretty bird I would not have been able to leave with one either, are you sure that they rescued them and it was not them that had them, I am so skeptical of people any more. I always wonder if they are telling the truth.

Did you give the owners ANY advice???

 

[raroo]

Awww, so glad you rescued her! She looks like she'll be gorgeous when she fills in.

I also don't understand the saltwater...

WHY???

 

[chickensioux]

Yes, I agree with thechickenchick, she looks like she has great potential. She is very lucky you came along. I would have done the same thing. And what is with the salt water? Yay for you for saving her!!!

Salt water, sure good way to kill them!!!!!! Hear of giving sugar water ,but not salt water !!!!!!!!
