And last but not least, Rose. Who is not a huge fan of being handled, clearly

Rose and Sophia are beautiful too!

Blanche is an eye-catcher for sure!

Thank you it’s her little hairdo that’s my absolute favorite

Welcome. It is very cute about your last name. I have a few disabled hens. One I have to feed 5-6 times a day.

Oh wow! Such a great hen mama

Welcome to BYC! We're glad you joined us!

A normal beak is shaped to be able to pick up crumbles, crossed like hers is, she will have a difficult time picking up food and over time she can become malnourished, weak, even sick. She will definitely eat more and enjoy eating if the food is dampened, when it sits all lumpy when damp, (not sloppy like oatmeal) she doesn't need both mandibles to come to together, she can just shovel it in. Right now it may appear she is eating well but most of it is probably not making it into her mouth. Let me tag a gal that has a crossbeak.... @Liz Birdlover

Wet mash was a huge hit! Dorothy hasn’t stopped eating. I feel so bad because she probably wasn’t getting enough before

Oh how wonderful!!! I am so happy for the both of you! Give her some lovin' for me!

Oh and make sure to make only enough for the day, it will spoil after one day hanging around the coop. You might make a small amount in the morning and then another batch in the afternoon. The others will favor it too. Stir it a few times a day to keep the bottom from spoiling and so it stays light.

Okay thank you for that! I’ll go stir it here in just a few minutes and make a new batch in a few hours! Everyone seems to love it

Yup, like I mentioned, ours think it's a treat. I don't even have to worry about the stuff for the big chickens as they clean it all up.

For the little ones in the brooders, I just use my [clean] finger and pick off the top of it from them trampling on it, and stir up the rest.
