Hi there. Just wanted too share my first two weeks. Its been interesting, to say the least.
Day One - Brought two Giant Jersey Roosters home. One escaped because we didn't release in coup.
Our smallest cat chased "Harley" who ran like a chicken. I then thought I could catch him with a net. WRONG. Runs like a Antelope. Harley spent his first two nights in the bush. Came back on day three and we contained.
Day Four - Decided to count chickens nightly, but wasn't diligent. Thought I was down one. Wasn't sure tho.
Day Six (ish) - Hen injured itself. Leg. We figured it climbed a roost that was to high and fell? Named that chicken "Dinner" Girlfriend decided to nurse. Low and behold " Dyna" now walks with a limp and is integrating into flock. Gramma didn't like "Dinner" so name was altered.
Day Ten - Neighbours who live half a click (mile) coming knocking on door holding a chicken. Ask if we owned. We weren't sure but no else around has white chickens. At least within a couple clicks. So my original count was right!!! lol
Today - Got home from work to find a fox snatched a chicken. Jesus! Gramma and gf went bushwakking and found the chicken. Her feathers on wing were ripped off and she had a few small punctures in neck. Gramma gave some antibiotics and were gonna wait and see how she does. "Dinner Two" ?? lol. Anyway have a great day everyone.
