The strangest place youve...

[silkiechicken]

Not sure if anything is all that odd out here, but other than the top of the second story of the ho use, I'd say the oddest is how a 2 month old silkie ended up over two fences, a wall of evergreen trees, a solid fence towards the junk yard and lived to come home. Rather, someone at the wrecking yard saw it being chased by a cat and brought it back. She was about 1000 feet away, with multiple barriers between home and where she was found. Yet all 6 ounces of bird came back. Our thought was a hawk didn't grab a good hold and dropped her on the way to nearly certain death.

One of our Barred Rock x RIR roosters ended up in our garage, standing in a pair of my dad's shoes... I think he must have tried to perch there and somehow got a foot in each. It was hilarious. (The rooster would wander in and announce his trespassing with a loud, echoing crow -- my dad didn't want him pooping in the garage so the offending fowl always got chased out!).

It isn't too strange, but I found Hannah ..one of the triplets... underneath the "training nest" the other day

I almost panicked ..until I heard her peeping and PV and Weeze were making laps around it, peeping their baby "predator warning" peeps at me

Silly girls!

I found two hens that had shoved themselves up into the two inches of space between the coop wall and the back of the nest boxes.

Whay on earth would they do that? Were they hiding from something?

 

[Corey NC]

Yep a hawk had gotten into the coop (long story) and they were trying to get away. They were there for hours before I found them. Poor girls I had to push and shove to get them out.
