This little one endured a harrowing ordeal, a nightmare for any bird. She was attacked by a hawk. Hearing the commotion, her owner rushed outside to discover the hawk attacking her. The hawk had pinned her down, pecking at her relentlessly. In a panic, the owner chased the hawk away. Silkie Bun-Bun lay still on the ground, seemingly lifeless. Believing she had died, her husband fetched a shovel to bury her. As they prayed over her bloodied, motionless little body, Silkie Bun-Bun sprang up and dashed away, having been in shock. They brought her inside and did their best to care for her. She appeared to be missing an eye and was unable to stand without falling. They couldn't provide the necessary care but were reluctant to euthanize her - That's when they contacted us.

Silkie Bun-Bun had sustained head trauma, and it was unclear if she still had an eye due to the swelling and scabs. She completely lacked balance. We started her on antibiotics and pain medication. Nearly two months later, her standing has improved, though she occasionally loses balance, which might be permanent. Silkie Bun-Bun did lose the sight in her eye, but she has adapted well. She resides in "Chicken Alley" with her other friends.

Silkie Bun-Bun's birthday is April 4, 2020
