Shadrach's Ex Battery and Rescued chickens thread.

Two and a half hours. No rain! :D

Sylph is eating more. They went proper foraging today. They're going to need the calories. It's going to get cold overnight and colder still the next few days. A noticeable drop in the wind strength probably helped to get them out.

Jackdaw v Glais standoff. There's a small amount of whole grains on the ground between them. Every time the jackdaw goes to try and eat some, Glais charges it.:D

I dug a bit and they came into the cage (hopefully to be my fruit bush cage) and dug around in there.

Scraped off a pile of brush. Not much under it.

Might crop this to get Glais in the center.

Update on the Naked neck rooster:

He disappeared, and I felt bad that he might have been killed. But this afternoon as I was in my backyard I saw my neighbor, the one with chickens. Yes, it was his rooster, and it found its way home, is back in the run safe.

Happy ending.

Thanks for the update! He was on an adventure.
A few years back, probably when our chickens were only about 6 months old, I was at work and received text message from my neighbor.

Apparently all 8 chickens got out of the run (run door wasn't completely latched), lead by Foggy the rooster, marched 2 houses down, and happily digging some yard, until a kid was like:" mommy, why do we have chickens in our yard?"

Our neighbors spent lots of effort herding them back...:D looking back, I'm thankful no injuries happened at all.

Picture was a supervised adventure.
