Two days ago I saw somethin in the woods on my property. Upon investigation turned out to be a strange chicken. We live on 130 acres and even my closest neighbors dont have chickens. From the owlish face im guessing its an "easter egger" looks like a hen around 8 months old? Any ideas how far these can travel? Another idea was it was dropped by a hawk. Havent found an owner yet. The poor thing is scared to death!! We got it in the coop the first day and locked it in. Then it spent the night with my flock and was let out with them the next morn. It stays away from them and wont come close even when I throw out scratch. However it did go back in the coop last night. It is always the last chicken out in the morn staying inside for about an hour before coming out. Same this morning. She does not try to hang out with any other chickens and wont let me any where near her. Do you think she will settle down soon? With she integrate into my flock? She shows no signs of molt so guessing under a year old.
Here are some pics. Not the best cus i had my camera on super zoom and hard to hold the camera real still.
