Hey all!
We had this sweet girl visit us about 2 weeks ago, maybe closer to 3.
I assume its because of my hens, and the available feed, but she is now here everyday, almost all day. She's even started staying in our tall bush/trees at night.
My chickens don't even chase her off anymore.
She has no leg band, and I know with how bright she is, she's hawk bait if she stays out too long.
Is it unreasonable to try and make her at home? I was starting to look at small, basic lofts, so she'd have better shelter.
And of course, I've started looking at feed, as I doubt layer feed meets her needs.
Any tips, suggestions as to how I can help her? I didnt want to catch her if she was going to go home, but this seems to be home for her now.
(I even posted her picture on the local lost pet facebook site).
Thanks in advance!
