Camouflage yes or no

[Chickenwithnobrim]

I know this may be a dumb question, but in a green free run area, would dying a silkie chicken green help with her camouflage or make it worse? Mainly thinking in the terms of aerial predator.

How would a green chicken be camouflaged in a non green run?
Better to tie a few sticks on its back.

I would not. What the aerial predators are looking for is movement more than anything else. They can see a brown mouse on brown dirt in the brown vegetation of winter when it moves from a long way away. I think you are wasting your time.

If you are that worried about it, keep her in a covered run. Otherwise she is at risk.

A nice example of *lets eat Grandma* for Eats Shoots and Leaves aficionados.

Can someone please photo shop a chicken in a ghillie suit. Lol

I had issues with aerial predators. If you free range you are going to loose birds now and then. It's the risk you take. I built nice large covered pens for my birds. Lessons learned the hard way.
