Someone dropped a box of 17 chickens at the end of our driveway... Hayes, VA

Obviously it's cruel and irresponsible but here I am finding a lot of humor in your predicament. The funniest part is they're really nice breeds! I hope they aren't worm and lice ridden, or worse. Otherwise, it's like someone's fancy fowl medley fell off the back of a delivery truck.

The 6 we caught are happy in the smaller coop, but there are at least 3 roosters out there. We already have roosters so we're not sure what we'll do if/ when we catch them. They're all beautiful birds

Eat 'em!

We're leaving them alone for an hour to calm down. Hopefully they'll come back out and make their way towards the food and water we left.

Funny thing is our place can't be seen from the road at all. There would be no way for someone just passing to know we have birds. We're have one neighbor about 500 feet from us, so unless it was just a friend of theirs, it was just by chance maybe that they were left here.

Have you checked with your neighbor to see if they were expecting a delivery of chickens?

They're the ones who told us there was a box of chickens at the end of the driveway lol. They asked if we knew anything about it.

well..i guess that scratches that idea... UNLESS THEY GOT THEM FOR YOU?!?!?!conspiracy!

 

[Shamo Hybrid]

Yeah, I think they neighbor had a friend who was looking to get rid of his chickens and the neighbor suggested the idea since he knows you guys own chickens!

The people who dumped those birds should be prosecuted
(along with other less diplomatic things I'd like to suggest).
