Okay last few mornings ive gone to let the chickens out of their main coop into their run and a tiny birds already been in their run. stuck over night?
not sure how the little one got himself or herself there but i run it out. then today i checked on my chickens like i always do, opened the main coop to clean it out and theres the little bird, like a small finch sitting on the chickens roost? what to think of all this?

feedback welcomed!

My only concern would be it carrying disease to your flock, otherwise, sounds pretty cute, can you get a pic?

yeah i def can get a photo. i think the chickens which are a big now, are chasing the birdy around too.. kinda cute but i think the bird is confused, these are not her parents. lol.
i was thinking about the diesase thing too.

Awww, isn't that cute. I have a Eurasian Collared Dove that is always trying to join my flock too. Now, as cute as it may seem, there could be potential problems involved. Wild birds often carry parasites or diseases and should not be allowed to mingle with your flock. And where there is one, there are often many. So even if there is just one little finch getting in now... just wait until all his friends find out about the nice, warm, secure coop with all the free food and water. There'll be a party in your back yard everyday.

We want pictures!

yeah,
the little one is probably telling all his friends and they are all dropping by for free food etc. i will try and get a photo tommorrow, that is i really hope not tho, lol.
the bird was so tiny, it reminded my when my chickens were just chicks,,, really that small.
i even found the bird in the chickens nesting box, ugh. and one of my chickens right next to it... its kinda funny but not ya know.
