Gimpy Sue

So, Gimpy Sue is our little crippled Guinea ( bad legs ), we are not quite sure whether its a male or female, so anyhow, he/she has always been in our chicken house unable to get outside. Gimpy Sue is 1/2 the size of the other Guineas because of the disability and during feeding time would get trampled a bit and had to fight hard for food but he/she is very determined and a fighter and despite the disability can get around quite well. With all this in mind we decided to put Gimpy Sue over in the Goat pen with the Big Buffs and four Banty's, because its calmer over there and Gimpy Sue can actually get outside of the pen as well as he/she has hay to sleep on at night. It's quite cute and very heart warming to see Gimpy Sue doing so well, outside pecking around getting to be the Guinea he/she was meant to be, and I'm certain that now our little disabled Guinea will grow and prosper over there and will soon be flying as today Randy text me and said ' Gimpy is actually getting in the air a bit when he/she flaps wings' lol. Randy is so very good with animals, I thought when Gimpy was very young that we should put him/her out of misery but Randy said No, we are going to let Gimpy live out his life the best that he/she can do. ;-) I am SO glad we have let Gimpy grow and become a part of this farm. Gimpy may look disabled but TRUST Gimpy does just fine.
