My Little Friend also had her beak trimmed, and therefore can’t pick up scattered chicken pellets. The uneven top and bottom beak means that she can’t grasp anything that is not at the back of her mouth. Both Snuggles and My Little Friend get fed from a special bowl that is deep enough so that they can eat, and it is quite cute to watch them both sharing their meal in the barn.
You can see that My Little Friend wears a blue leg band, and Snuggles pink. This is so that we can find our special girls quickly in the flock, and feed them separately. But over the years they have learned pretty quickly, and now they walk right over to their bowl and wait for their meal while the other hens are busy with their food.
