We have a ton of wild or feral chickens over here, this one got stuck in some weed seeds at the pasture and the mom had to get the rest of her brood to safety for the night so she had to leave it. I heard it chirping and saw the mom leaving. I would have returned the goober to her the next day except she had lost all but 1 of her clutch by the next morning and the morning after that she had none. So Tubman is the only survivor. I will return him when he is big enough. It is a beautiful place for a chook if you are not small because of hungry feral cats. with no tourists here to feed the cats there must be nothing but the chicks to eat.

Maybe you can start a chick rescue!

Agreed! We just need to move to a really big property
Little Tubman lived in a scarf around my neck for a few days until my chicks hatched (thank goodness!) and now that he has all those friends to play and eat with he does not even know I exist anymore lol. As my friend said, that one fell in a tub of butter when I found him.
Well, we have a cold front coming our way and now that Tubman is happy and out of my neck scarf I was able to get my life back and finish the weatherproofing on the main coop. I have been wanting/needing to finish that for a few months but our winter seems to be passing us by so it was easy for me to put off. How mild has our winter been you wonder? T shirt and short weather still and my newly hatched 1 & 2 day old chicks are not even under the heating pad all of the day in their outdoor brooder with only wire hardware cloth. I did stapled some feed bags for rain protection on the brooder because we are finally going to get a cold front in tonight.
I also scraped poop boards, leveled out left corner of main coop, sold 4 chicks, called a few people on my waiting list, told my big chickens they are super cute and fed them meal worms and bugs for fun.
Look at him ignoring me the little booger.

I hope you all had a wonderful day!

The girls in their happy place today. I was out working in the yard, burning some leaves down by the pond so they got to free range. They love this spot next to my husband’s shop. Unfortunately for them it will be a paved walkway sometime soon but fortunately for them I plan to build them a bigger coop and give them a run in the garden soon too.
