I can well imagine she might be on the small side and continue to need help, but she should adapt fairly quickly to the food dish and finding it, unless she has other brain issues that aren't showing up yet. I hope she continues to thrive! I think animals with compromised sensory issues learn to make up for their weaknesses in other ways. She may end up surprising you!Claire MWhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02603169881463831299noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1412316033303635508.post-22209698774568895232013-03-27T12:39:01.194-05:002013-03-27T12:39:01.194-05:00Oh!

She may be a little slow to get started but she may also become your favorite AND be the best layer you've ever had. Bless her heart. I'm glad she is doing better!! Keep up the good work.

But she's still behind the other chicks. Hopefully she'll continue to eat and grow.<br />Judy Thttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01121300109427407095noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1412316033303635508.post-87768861493307127932013-03-25T20:34:00.089-05:002013-03-25T20:34:00.089-05:00Me too, I would do the same thing.

I was reading about other people who have blind hens and yes, they have them in a separate pen and they seem to do pretty well.<br />And she is one of our Ameraucanas so should lay some lovely shade of egg when she matures. At least she is eating now so she has a chance.<br /><br />And thanks for the vote of confidence.

At least the latest round of snow is melting already.<br />I do feel bad that I have to go back to work tomorrow so the feeding cycles will fall to my hubby. He says he's willing to do it. Sometimes I really, really love that guy!<br />Judy Thttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01121300109427407095noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1412316033303635508.post-79176848632462088962013-03-25T18:00:09.174-05:002013-03-25T18:00:09.174-05:00Hi Judy.

I would be doing just what you are doing :-) <br /><br />I view it as giving a living creature a fighting chance :-)<br /><br />If all else fails she could live in a small pen where she could find her food and might be a terrific broody hen or a really good egg layer?<br /><br />And sometime just being awfully sweet s enough - after all, we keep pets who may have no other purpose but to be sweet and make us feel happy :-) <br /><br />I like what you are doing for her, anyway :-)Compostwomanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09028585447065282738noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1412316033303635508.post-58001138392033895072013-03-25T17:58:14.115-05:002013-03-25T17:58:14.115-05:00I would do the same thing....she may be attached...I would do the same thing....she may be attached to your for a long time.. <br />Wish our weather would make up its mind...<br />wishing you a fantastic successful gardening year...LisaAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10476106116117964270noreply@blogger.com
