Hello Everyone...

Whew, we've been busy. Just to let y'all know, THANKS to your helpful advice Tyson is not only alive but THRIVING!!! She has quite a personality. She now walks normally...for a chicken anyway and she even RUNS! She especially runs to food bowls and I mean ANY food bowl. She challenges every animal on the farm except the horses. Give her time.

We just finished construction on her new quarters; a chicken tractor. It still needs some final touches & I'll send pics when it's presentable for company to see. But, Tyson spent her first night outside in it last night & this morning she was clucking cheerfully when I left for work.

Here's a pic of her with her rescuer, Andre the Giant. She is shamefully rude to him. She eats his dry food. When he barks at her she stands right there & just ruffles her wings in response. He will likely want to take her back where he found her soon! LOL
