This morning I found a small chicken scratching around in my front garden. I've been to all the other places in my neighbourhood with chickens that I know of, and she doesn't belong to any of them.
I've put up a sign and left my details with the local animal shelter but if nobody claims her I'm quite happy to look after her. However, I already have an established flock of 4 fully-grown hens (2 ISA Brown, 2 White Leghorn) and I'm not confident they'll accept the tiny newcomer (not sure if she's a bantam or just very young). At this stage I'm just letting the stray explore the yard on her own but if anyone has any advice about what to do it would be very much appreciated.
