I found a chicken!!!!!... WHAT DO I DO WITH IT??? ~(PICS)~

[mahsmaj]

I was at a friends house when I saw this chicken across the road just walking around clucking a lot. It was all alone so I decided to catch it. My friend helped me put something together really fast to house the chicken for a while but she doesnt want to keep the bird... Should it be fine with my chickens back at home???

You may want to check around the neighborhood and see if anyone is missing a rooster. Some folks let their chickens free range and he may have wandered off.

If he has no home, then he should be okay with your chickens. But always quarantine first. i think i've heard two weeks to a month. You don't want your chickens catching anything.

quarantine, quarantine, quarantine!!!!


then, if it the same size as your chickens, give it a whirl, but supervise.

and did it walk across the road or Cross the road???

why did the chicken cross the road? because it wanted to visit at mahsmaj's house!

Is there any chance it is someones pet? My chickens free range all over, but I have no neighbors to pick them up and take them home. I would have left it be. You never know what diseases it will bring to your flock. Good Luck

She looks like she'll do just fine after some adjustment. Do keep her quarantined from your flock for at least 3 weeks, to be sure she doesn't have any kind of sickness that would infect your flock. Just keep her in a pen separate from your birds and then after the three weeks you can introduce her to the rest of your flock.

She looks to be a leghorn, they lay white eggs.

No one on the road has any chickens at all... and I think it may be a hen. Does anyone know what breed it is??? Weve already asked around.

She looks like a leghorn. I would also check your neighbors there and see if they are missing a bird. Leghorns can be flighty and will fly over fences no problem. The ones I have routenly fly into the fenced in garden.

It looks an awful lot like a rooster.

Is it real flighty? Could it be a leghorn?

Looks like a white leghorn hen. I'd keep her quarantined for a couple of weeks, then if she's still looking good...put her with your others...at night...when they can't see anything anyway!!
