Leghorn
Reviewed by Chicken Goddess

Leghorns are great egg laying chickens. They are friendly to other Leghorns and can easily fly. The only problems is that they are bad in the pecking order and they can make a mess of the yard....

I will start by saying that I love Australorps. In fact, my very favorite hen is an Australorp. She is such a sweet chicken and just let's you walk right up to her to pick her up. She doesn't run...

So yesterday, a friend saw a chicken on the side of a fairly busy road.

The hen was just roaming around on the side. my friend did not stop.

Today he saw the hen on his way to work 7:00 am and on his way home from work 5:00pm the hen had even stopped traffic because she was crossing the road.

Tomorrow I am heading over there to find this little hen. do you think she was abandoned, or .... If I find her, I am planing to see if any of the people around has any coops... what do you think?

He is like an eagle that stirs up its nest. It hovers over it little ones. It spreads out it wings to catch them on its feathers.

Good for you. A road is no place for a chicken.

Hopefully you and the chicken will be safely connected. Mostly be careful of traffic. do you plan to use a net to catch it? Wishing you luck for you and the chickens safety and well being.

Be sure to ask the chicken why it crossed the road.

Best of luck.

Oh, bless you, GoldenSparrow. It is wonderful that you are saving it... It might get hit, wandering around that busy road!
