So whats up Chicken?

A quick update on Easter the chicken!

She is still very sleepy, but I believe well out of the danger zone!  She is up and eating on her own with no encouragement needed from me.  She is enjoying her mash and as of today her scratch too with no yogurt to assist it down.  Under advice from a fellow chicken hand I have been giving her an egg a day, which is semi ok to her palate. (Its ok to give a unwell chicken and egg because of the health benefits, protein and nutrients. Although it might later cause her to "want," to continue eating eggs, I see no harm until she actually expresses that behavior.)  I, for the past two days, have left her crate wide open. She has yet to venture outside of her crate, but all in due time:)  Her eye swelling has gone down alot more. Although its still swollen she is able to "slightly," open it if she so chooses. What she needs now is a good dust bath sans ground hornets.
