I have a eight month old Barred rock hen, her name is Owl bait. When she was only a few months old, the evil neighbor dog came over and killed 6 chickens, she was the only one that he caught but didnt kill. He did though bite off all her tail feathers. Then a few days later an great horned owl got into the baby chicken pen and killed 5 that time. The last one the owl got was Owl bait but I got her back, minus her comb, the owl bite that half off.
Then my kids and I had to help her, she had blood dripping off her beck and in her eyes, it was a big mess. So we felt bad for her, she had a rough week. The kids would carry her a round the yard for hours, if they went for a walk they took owl bait with, play in the dirt pile, took Owl bait with, play army guys in the grass. they take Owl bait with. Now she's a big baby and yells at me if I go in the coop and dont pick her up and hold her.
So that is how I got a 1/2 eaten chicken named Owl bait.
