have had a blue-pied hen arrive this morning . she trapped along with the cocks who had been out flying . i thought what a little beauty . its 1 lost as a youngster . her feet , life ring , phone ring , and ETS all coated in red clay/ dry sand ?? . no sign of injury , no lice or mite ? and a little on the thin side. has quite a shine to her apart from her 2 outer flight feathers ? they appear to be "nibbled at" on the outer edge ?? any ideas what it could be ? i want to put her in a section with some youngsters , yet am a little reserved , "just in case" ? whats your thoughts on her ?
