Runt Chicken

Today I discovered the runt chicken had been attacked in the head by
its more aggressive coop-mates. She is seriously injured with wounds
to the top and back of her head and left eye. I've given her safe
haven to recover.
10/20/13 Update: Roberta - her new name, has blossomed.  She not only recovered from her injuries, she blossomed into a laying hen.  She is blind in the left eye, but no longer walks in right hand circles.  We moved her to the courtyard where she has free range every day.  She has the best life of any chicken I know!
PS. don't tell the other chickens that live in the canyon...
