    Henny Penny Escaped!!

    WOW! A great catch!!! I was shocked when I saw the headline too. I never saw Henny Penny fly when she was in my yard because she would just wait at my front door until I fed her. Maybe she's a Long Island Chick and not a Jersey Girl! Ginny, as I might have mentioned in my email to you...

    HENNY PENNY! - I HAVE HER! SHE'S HOME

    Quote: You're all welcome. Helping Henny Penny was not a difficult decision - we have a bunch of pets so putting her in the right hands (Lunachick) seemed like the natural thing to do. As luck would have it, I had extra dog and puppy crates for her care and shipping. If I ever get some...

    Help - Neighbor's chicken escaped and now lives in my yard!

    Quote: She's in a plastic "puppy crate" - much stronger than the cardboard variety with a towel and cuts of cantaloupe for food and hydration. I'm pretty sure she'll do well on the trip. She'll arrive tomorrow by 12 noon so it'll be less than 24 hours (total) before she reaches Lunachick. 3...

    Help - Neighbor's chicken escaped and now lives in my yard!

    Quote: PurpleChicken, Tiffanyh and Lunachick, First, let me apologize if I've confused anyone's "handle". The 3 of you have expressed interest in Henny Penny and I'm happy that you're all there to provide her a home. I have 5 dogs and definitely cannot keep her. If someone wants to come...

    Help - Neighbor's chicken escaped and now lives in my yard!

    Quote: As per your suggestion, I lured her into a dog crate with food and pulled a string to close the door once she ate comfortably and had both feet inside. She wasn't that flustered but concerned when she realized that she had no way out. I've fed her and put old towels on the bottom of...

    Help - Neighbor's chicken escaped and now lives in my yard!

    Flufnstuffs~FluffySilkies : Make sure you give her a dish of water that can not be tiped over and spilled. That type of cage will not hold wood shaving as bedding... Can you put that cage in a garage or basement at night??? A coon could reach in that cage and kill her at night. We have had...

    Help - Neighbor's chicken escaped and now lives in my yard!

    Flufnstuffs~FluffySilkies : THATS WONDERFUL If you are only going to have her for a short time then the frozen peas/corn are good to feed her. Also some oatmeal "dryed old fashioned OAT FLAKES" fOR BEDDING YOU CAN USE WHAT EVER YOU HAVE. Wood chips an old rag towel. In this case it is to bad...

    Help - Neighbor's chicken escaped and now lives in my yard!

    Quote: Success!!!! I caught Henny Penny this morning using your method. She's been pretty calm. What should I put in the crate while I figure out her home situation? I'm going to call her previous owners but I don't think they're set up for chickens anymore. I'll post another picture in a...

    Help - Neighbor's chicken escaped and now lives in my yard!

    Quote: Ok, I'm trying to "train" Henny Penny to eat her food in the crate and then I'll close the door behind her! I think this will work the best.
