Small chicken in the cold

That’s a sad story. Thank you for your kind heart and willingness to help them.

Thank you. I couldn't sit back and watch them all starve to death. BUT, it did make me want chickens! Which is the only upside to it.

I caught all by Red. Unfortunately, Pebbles got out and she's nowhere to be seen this morning.. I feel bad bc I clipped her wings. If it was a predator that got her, maybe if she still had her feathers, she could've gotten away. Red has started sleeping in the coop so and not with her so if it wasn't a predator, then that means that she froze to death.. it's horrible!

Oh no. So Red is sleeping in the coop now? I sure hope you find pebbles

Do you have any idea how Pebbles got out?

He is. Finally.. but he brought a set of the hen boxes so I have to replace those. I also gave my other rooster to someone yesterday so Red is the only rooster I have now.

So how many chickens do you have now?

Yes sir! She, along with the rest of them, jumped out of the run!! So obviously the run walls aren't high enough! Lol! I'm gonna go back there and get more fencing and just enclose the entire thing.

4 hens and 1 rooster now. BUT someone is selling some chickens that are gorgeous!! The only problem with that is that she's selling them in pairs and everyone is suggesting that I don't need another rooster.

The top of the run was open? That explains a lot. Hopefully you can round them all up.

By the pair and give one of your roosters away.

The roosters are a little over a year old I think.
Here's how my situation went. My neighors bought these chickens and roosters and a duck as babies. After they got old enough to get out of the box, they put them in a coop and everyday their 2 youngest kids would go into the coop and chase them and beat the sense out of them. I'd stop them when I saw it happening but I have to work so I couldn't be here all day to watch them. Then they moved out. They left all of them here. I couldn't sit back and watch them all starve to death. So they' mine now. So I'm guess that even though they'll eat out of my hand and follow me around, they just won't trust me to pick them up bc of the beatings they received.

Wow that’s horrible. I’m so glad you rescued the poor things. People are terrible sometimes.
