I have to say, half-starved or not, she is one cutie pie! Love the lopsided comb, lol. Good girl and good of you to be fattening her back up!

Thanks- still don't have a clue who returned her... or why.

She's given an egg a day since I posted she was laying, she is also fertile but I don't know if it was one of my boys or someone else. *dum dum dum!*

I don't like her comb color yet but she stopped molting and is putting feather back on at an alarming rate.

bless her little heart!!

you should hopefully be incubating the eggs, just for fun to try and tell if the babies come out half game hens. maybe someone with a fighting bird tried to use her to breed, but decided she was no use when she stopped laying and or wasnt broody? seems like children though...

The eggs she laid away (the first of three days worth) were not fertile after day three my BWA rooster had her again.

But it did cross my mind

See my sig-

It looked like she had been bred when she got back but every one of them were blank-

After three days she was fertilized by my boy as the criminal just tossed her back into the coop (w/o quarantine or anything...)

She's laid like a champ since then and her feathers are all pretty again.

So glad your Minne is back and healthy and happy again. I just love a happy ending. Bless her heart, she looked pretty sad in the first picture but now she is happy again.

If the weather holds and my son gives me three minutes I might post another set of pictures.
