Lucy The Buckeye Hen With One Wing

In the beginning of November Lucy came to us because her owner was unsure of what to do.  Lucy suffered a raccoon attack that left her wing damaged, bone exposed, and it was barely hanging on.  Her owner did a great job the night of the attack cleaning Lucy up to get a clear view of just how much damage had been done.  It's amazing that Lucy was able to survive the trauma of the incident alone, much less the clean up. There were no other options after seeing the damage and Lucy's owners were informed that they would have to have her wing removed. Lucy's wing was successfully removed the following day and her owners opted for her to stay with us for her healing process.  I'm not so sure we want to give her back now :-) 

The healing process consisted of cleaning and treating her fresh wound daily and allowing for a scabbing and crusting process several times over again to get to where she is today.  This hen has been nothing but resilient for what she went through.  She is happily in the house finding new places to lay her eggs and taking over the dog beds.  

Lucy will be missed when she is returned to her owners.

We take pride in our birds here and guarantee that all birds are healthy upon arrival to their recipient.

A fee of $35.00 will be charged for any returned checks and ability to make future payments via personal check may be forfeited.

Deceased Bird(s) Upon Arrival:  Should a bird arrive deceased we require that it be properly documented and reported to us immediately.  Proper documentation requires a picture, an e-mail, and a phone call within 2 hours of pick up.  Upon receipt and acceptance of required documentation another bird of similar age and same sex, weather permitting, of breeders choice will be shipped with in 30 calendar days.

Deposit to Reserve a Bird: A 50% non refundable deposit of the total cost of the bird(s) is required in order to reserve a bird.  This deposit is only refunded if, for any reason, the breeder is unable to deliver the bird(s) to the intended recipient.  The unpaid balance of bird(s) cost and shipping charges are required before bird(s) are shipped.
