Stray chicken. She's a beauty! Need opinions.

I have 6 red sex links, 3 barred rocks, and Gretel who is an old English game hen. Plus 8 fluffy butts. Haha I'm about to be overrun.

And I'm fairly sure 2 out of the 3 BRs are roosters. Grr lol

Awwwwe! I have been lurking for a LONG time here! Soooo happy about this story! I actually had dreams that I found stray chickens a few times after reading this!

Sorry for your personal struggles right now.... *hugs*

Will Gretel be kept with your coop now?

 

[DixieChicken78]

Yeah. I don't want her to get hurt now that her wing is clipped. I need to find something that can be closed up at night. Off the ground for her and the babies. But the ex did that sort of thing. So it probably won't be pretty. Lol

Cool! We plan to use a dog kennel if we ever get lucky enough to have a broody! Our oldest are not quite 14 weeks so we have a while unfortunately. So gladyou gave this girl a safe place to live! Not many people would have made it their "problem".

Dog crate and dog houses are awesome look on craigslist. it doesn't have to be pretty just functional, but dog crates or house are easy to make nice.
