[Colored Egg Farmer]

Yea sounds like one of my chickens. I though i lost here durring the night. looked arroudn the house and found that stinking chicken making a home out of the flower box.

Aw, keep her.. seems you would take really good care of her plus your DH being smitten with her..... Keep!

A chainlink dog run thing would work as temporary pen(or even permanent). Just put chicken wire or better, hardware cloth over it to protect from raccoons etc.

She is pretty, isn't she?

If Tiffany changes her mind I will keep her but I did promise and I'll honor that. As long as she has a good home I'll be happy. We'll give her some outdoor time tomorrow when I get home. The shed is comfortable enough now that it's warm. But she'll happier free ranging like she's been used to doing I'm sure.

Yes that is the important thing a good home! She is a looker though! I love her comb!

She is beautiful! Why is it I never get any stray chickens just plopping themselves at my place?

I have a BR who ran away from home (the house nextdoor). I never told my neighbor I had her because he wasn't bothering to lock his chickens up at night. She came under the fence with her sister and joined my flock. Guess I'm a chicken thief!

LOL,,,chicken thief Henrietta. I would take her in a heartbeat if you were closer.

She is staying with us!! Tiffanyh had offered to take her but since we decided we like her so much she said we should keep her. Thanks Tiffany!

Sundown, we thought she was Barred Rock too at first but she doesn't have the single comb of a BR. It's a little scary but this close up shows her rose comb better:
