I have often heard it said that fresh food is the much better than processed food that has bee in a package for no telling how long. Where now I raise the question of how fresh is too fresh? If you travel up the road from me you will find a young lady, who likes fresh chicken…VERY fresh. As a child I bet you were told to “clean your plate” and if you have children I bet you have also made that statement.
This is a case where she did not “clean her plate” and the Jones’ household is so glad.
The young lady I’m speaking of is Wishbone, a dog my dad rescued from the pound. She did eat several chickens and a young turkey but she left
Lilly severely injured.
Lilly is a feather footed bantam, who has a great demeanor, you can pick her up and hold her, without being pecked. She will patiently sit on eggs for the required 21 days and protect the new chicks until they are ready to live on their own.
Having been an EMT, I have worked on a few people. I have doctored on dogs and cats in my ALMOST 40 years, but since the establishment of Rosebriar Farm, I have had to learn to doctor on chickens. I by no means consider myself an expert but if you have many animals a trip to the vet for everything is not affordable.
Here are some picture of where Wishbone attacked Lilly and the areas where
Brad and I, have had to try to keep Lilly from getting infections that could eventually kill her. We must be doing ok because Lilly is getting better and I getting back to her friendly self.
