Fortunately, a kind soul came to the rescue. Concerned that the chick might starve to death, a feed store employee brought Vector home to join his flock. She took care of Vector for several years and did her best to keep her healthy. But when the guardian decided to go back to school, she knew she would have less time to meet Vector’s needs. So she asked if we could take care of her.
Through our experience of treating similar cases, we feel that Vector can thrive. Years ago, we rescued another Ameraucana girl, also born with a severe cross-beak, named Bella. Bella remains healthy on a special diet and is a responsive member of our special needs herd. We hope that Vector will have the same success and that the two can stick around and become friends.
