So sorry it took me so long to make a second post
So, heres the story
A few weeks ago now, a young chicken showed up in our backyard. Because we have a big dog out the back, we chased it away. We slept a night, forgetting about the chicken and the next morning I set up one of our brokendown cars for the chicken to stay in over night temporary. You see, out the back we have a dog and out the front, the house next door has a colony of feral cats living under it!!!!
Danger from all sides
Its been a while now and we have asked on facebook for anyone who can take her in (there was one fellow but he changes his mind bc he reckoned his older chickens would bully her.)
She isnt living in ideal circumstances
because we dont have money for a chicken and we dont plan on keep her forever bc of our dog and the cats.
Right now shr lives in a blue Mazda 2 that has no engine or gear box. There are sheets over the seats for poop catching (and cleaning easily) and she has a roost laid from seat to seat. We put water in there with her and we let her out to run and dig up grums and snails three Times a day for an hour or two each time. We can't let her free roam without supervision because the cats have gone after her a few times ]
She eats bugs, grass and we give her oats, sometimes some banana or a bit of apple.
She sunbathes on the porch and does little dust baths
But we must get rid of her, this isn't a good situation for her and she could be happier.
I am new here and im not sure if this is a thing people do, but if they is anyone who is available to take her, please message me or something? Or let me now if you can because i want her to have a better life, stay alive! And my dad wants her out of his car because he wants to sell it
Note, the chicken and I live in Sydney NSW Australia, so if you are on any other continent or probably another Aussie State (unless you really want to)
Dont worry about it
Heres some photos of her!
