I’m here because of a gamefowl that escaped from next door

[SulkyBantam]

WELCOME! Glad to have you.

Yes, company would make her happy. I agree with the above posts, a coop would help too.

Hello, and welcome to BYC. She is a gamefowl hen. She would be safer in a coop in the evening.

The problem may be convincing her of that . She is getting better about letting me approach, mostly because I have food

Welcome to BYC! So glad you decided to join us!

Thank you so very much. I hope to learn a lot

All I can say is you have some smart dogs. And they dang sure wouldn't want to go near her if she had baby chicks. They are a whole other level of aggressive with them in tow. Had a game-bantam mix one with twelve chicks light me up when I was about four years old when I cornered them in my Grandpa Shook's barn. A lesson that I have never forgotten 55 years later.

All it took was two good charges across the yard in full-tail battle mode.
There is now a demilitarized zone bisecting my back yard.

Hello, welcome to BackYard Chickens. Thank you for joining our community.

I’m trying to keep myself from building the Taj Mahal of chicken coops

Hey Welcome to Backyard Chickens.. This is a great place to be .. A second is must but 4 more is chicken math

Seems to me they’re like potato chips, you can’t have only one.
the question is, should I go for a specific breed that would do well with Colonel Wooster?

Welcome to BYC! Lucky you, having a hen show up in your yard! She is beautiful.

Beautiful and tough! You have to be tough in this ‘hood.

Hello, nice of you to take in the girl. @sourland is spot on, a coop will keep her safer at night.

Best wishes!
